Ice and Fire: Watercolour Diaries of Volcano Journeys
Painting locations: California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Bolivia, British West Indies
Ice and Fire is an exploration of opposites coexisting at some of the most inhospitable and venerated places on Earth: volcanoes. Enduring both frigid and scalding temperatures, Tony Foster traveled to the tectonically-active North-Pacific United States, to the South American Altiplano, and to igneous oceanic archipelagos to depict stark landscapes and towering, snow-covered volcanic peaks. His renderings of viscous lava flows in Hawai’i masterfully capture the incandescence of radiating heat and are one of the Journey’s highlights. Thematically, Ice and Fire serves as a reminder of our planet’s dynamism, deserving of both awe and respect.
