works by artist walton ford will be on display later this month at the san antonio museum of art. the exhibition,
entitled 'tigers of wrath', will display twenty-six of ford's large-scale water colour paintings. ford's art is characterized
by its resemblance to 19th-century natural-science illustrations. however a closer look reveals strange, often
subversive political imagery.
ford’s meticulous paintings satirize the history of colonialism and the continuing impact of slavery and other forms
of political oppression on today’s social and environmental landscape.
