Tove Mauritzson Swedish, b. 1976

Mauritzson takes a more mythological approach with the painting The Road Not Taken in which two lions, one hybrid with wings, regally walk along a destination beyond the edge of the painting; their presence is both earthly and divine. The exotic wildness of the lions is a sharp contrast to Mauritzson’s paintings of domestic pets; however the artist associates the creatures with strength and comfort, and the painting is a personal statement acknowledging how the animal kingdom and the chain of nature is a special realm that humans have become far removed from, and that nature cannot be controlled.
