Carle Hessay: The Visitors/ Strangers from Earth d (delta)

"Masterminds from another 'Earth' compare and discuss their problems and accomplishments" (notes recorded from Carle's verbal description).

This intriguing image demonstrates Carle's expertise with colour and also his confident calligraphic line, both of which he uses to effect in portraying two life forms. With its edge of satiric humour, it shows his interest in social commentary in a way that is more overt than in his landscapes.
