Andreas Kuhn, Nature after Nature

The images of destruction of the rainforest in the media have been important for people to wake up – so far.

But these images of destruction and of the burning rainforest are also burning tracks of depression into our souls.

Can we still hope for nature to recover? Will there be a nature after nature?

Are we able to plant images of recovery and renewal in our hearts? Through these different images and a new culture of mindfulness we might build up the power to rescue or replant the rainforest which is an essential source of life for plants, animals, local people and last but not least mankind worldwide.

Is it possible, rather than depicting the destruction of nature in painting, to imagine and paint not the outer appearence but the inner dynamic forces of nature that help us to enhance recreation and a new beginning? Or are we lost in destruction?
