Commission #2 (Friedrich)
A large-scale oil painting that reimagines a canonical work by Caspar David Friedrich, filtered through McEwen's conceptual lens and cool, detached sensibility. McEwen's meticulous brushwork recreates the Romantic master's atmospheric landscape while subtly destabilizing its original emotional register, introducing a sense of contemporary alienation into the sublime. The work belongs to McEwen's ongoing investigation into appropriation, authorship, and the haunted residue of art history.
