The Dragon's Eye: An Artist's View - Tapa dura

Never one to be bewitched by the appearance of things, Duncan Regehr has devoted his life to going below the surface, reaching into the depths of psychology and the unconscious. His paintings and poetry explore his well-thought-out and penetrating assessment of humanity and the evolution of his social consciousness. Here he looks back at his relationship to nature, society, and the human condition. In series such as "Geoscapes," "Smokin Gun," and "The Grand Theme," he depicts environmental and societal changes - where we have come from and where we are headed. In the spectacular paintings presented here, Regehr's clarity of thought about our complex world is characteristically rendered with jewel-like use of color and many-faceted imagery. The accompanying poetry reveals a man of sensitivity to human experience and to the order of nature.
