Umbrella Figure Lamoree defines his work as "Social Surrealism," placing social commentary in a surreal context. His provocative artwork examines social and environmental issues such as pollution, religion, and politics. Lamoree states "I am concerned with man and his inequities; his self-destruction both morally and psychologically; and his fears, frustration and lonliness. I also am concerned with the forces that propel man to war and the devastating effects they have on the human psyche, as well as the environment." Through his work, Lamoree hopes to awaken society to its futile and destructive acts before it is too late. |
