“It’s the obligation of each new generation of artists to repaint the icons on the walls of the cave.”
Ken McCormick is a visual artist and deep ecology advocate who traces his ancestry back to the cave painters of France and Spain— the richest source of Palaeolithic art in the world. Ken paints modern art from a neo-archaic perspective, reworking the themes of Indigenous and pre-agricultural small-scale societies for a contemporary audience in contemporary times. As his ancestors ventured into these caves, painting their visions onto the walls— so too he speaks with respect for the spirit of our wild lands and the rewilding of human values.
