Save the Tiger
1980
A bold and evocative oil painting by Michael Corinne West, *Save the Tiger* (1980) channels the artist's signature Abstract Expressionist energy into a work that pulses with urgent, visceral color and gestural brushwork. The composition conveys both raw power and fragility, reflecting the growing environmental consciousness of the era and the plight of the endangered tiger. West's dynamic layering of paint creates a tension between wildness and vulnerability, inviting the viewer to contemplate humanity's relationship with the natural world.
