The mighty @austinparkhill was a guest on the Homer Alaska Podcast, and I think it’s enjoyable even if you don’t a) live in Alaska, or b) know him personally. Check it out.

Happy to present “Terrain” - 2022, acrylic and graphite on panel, 36x48in.

Part of my MEGAfauna series, concerning coexistence and climate, especially at the vulnerable northern latitudes of Alaska and the Arctic. Infused with my experiences up yonder.

A #MEGAfauna mini. I may be getting my #waterbears mixed up. But I’ve got my bets on which one survives #climatebreakdown.

“Waterbear” - 5x5 inches, 2020.

New #MEGAfauna mini.

“Polar Solar” - 9x12in, acrylic and graphite on board.

Inspired by my 4x4 trek across the #ArcticOcean, featuring the enigmatic #muskox, a crazy remote #solarpowered weather station, and the inspiring @bollingermotors B1 (an #electrictruck). I’m reimagining this #arctic adventure again, this time fueled by the sun.

The. Mural. Is. Up.

Took this photo at midnight, because that’s when @pettibonedavid and I finished installing it. Cheers 😴.

Thanks to the City of Homer for giving us a fresh building to work with. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.

For @abendgallery ’s 5x5 show, tiny #painting “Rising Lupine” (2018, 5x5 inches, acrylic and graphite on board) * Part of the #MEGAfauna series, which considers the way we interact with the natural environment. The series is set in #Alaska, my home. When confronting mega-sized wildlife in local scenes, one must consider coexistence with these exaggerated creatures. In reality, sharing space with wildlife is a growing concern as the climate changes. * #contemporaryart #imaginativerealism #austinparkhill #wolves #amaguk #homeralaska #alaska #environmentalart #artisactivism #painting #wildlifeart #wolf #apparition #jonathanlevineprojects #creativeuprising #contemporaryartist #climatechangeart #landscape #antfood #mixedmedia #abend #abendgallery

A little #detail action. "Pipeline Tuttu" * * * #MEGAfauna #painting inspired by my #arcticdrive in a @jeep to #Utqiagvik last winter, involving 200+ miles of driving over the sea-ice. This is a section of the #daltonhighway along the #pipeline through the #Alaska #tundra where we saw many #caribou (tuttu, if you know) which leads us to this piece (22x30" - mixed media on canvas - 2017). Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming @popularmechanics article from my #adventure! * * * #monochrome #northslope #jeep #popmech #austinparkhill #contemporaryart #wildlife #magicalrealism #imaginativerealism

"Carl Sanarov - The Brothers Sanarov" - 2017, 30x37 inches, acrylic on board. By AustinParkhill.com "Carl" is the center panel of a collaboration triptych by @karlkoett, @austinparkhill and @pettibonedavid. The Sanarov brothers are from a Russian Old Believer village outside of Homer, Alaska. First and foremost, the brothers identify by their religion, seeking to carry on the traditions of their ancestors as long as possible. Split from the Russian Orthodox church, their traditions reflect an earlier, more "pure" time in the church's history. The brothers are fishermen by trade and family tradition, hauling in salmon and halibut from their private boats which provides income and fish to feed to their family. When home, the Sanarovs are impressively skilled hockey players with sturdy reputations and hearty smiles around the rink. In the end, they are many definitions, not the least of which is American. * * * #portraiture #triptych #alaska #oldbeliever #homeralaska #contemporaryart #davidpettibone #karlkoett #austinparkhill #portrait #paint #art #anchorage #alaska #russia #american
