'Inverted'

 

A compilation of shark paintings-- using inverted colors to display the beauty and brilliance of these animals, who are most commonly represented by fear and negativity. By using colors that 'invert' the image, I hope to bring to attention an animal who is usually neglected and deeply suffering from humanity and its abuses--- especially when it comes to 'shark fin soup' and other trades. The more we become aware and think about sharks as something other than a supposed threat, the more we are able to do to protect them. 

Invert the image, 'invert' what you think you know about sharks and the pessimistic views set by society.
Although their rows of teeth may be the first thing you notice, I can assure you--- you will also find grace, charm and a curiosity which mirrors our own.
