Agent of the Forest, Adam Hinkelman, 2024, oil on canvas, 72 x 28 in. / 182.88 x 71.12 cm.

This painting depicts an abstracted cottonwood tree. The tree takes the entire frame as and the bark is accentuated with energetic brush stroke and multiple layers of paint evoking both literal and figurative depth. The tree bark offers a meditative and almost hypnotic response.
