William BukowskiMinnesota landscape
(in progress) oil on linen canvases
The subject of this 3 paintings set is the wind turbine in the modern Minnesota landscape. I was asked to participate in an exhibition at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. The show will take place this fall and there will be a program on wind energy during the semester. The college has plans of building a wind turbine for part of their energy needs.
I set out to find some wind turbines and found some near Butterfield, Minnesota. My first reaction was that the aliens have landed. There is something really odd and interesting about giant wind mills on the Minnesota farm. I decided that one view wasn't enough so I changed the perspective one each, but tried to keep them connected.
