Pasquale Cuppari, Piove diamanti, 2012, Oil enamel and mixed media on canvas, 60” x 96”, $40,000

Driven by his love of nature and the environment, the artist feels that now more than ever there is a critical urgency to address global climate change.

Born and raised in the small farm town of Calabria, Italy, the artist learned early on how crucial a stable climate is to our survival as a species. He began his ongoing series “Red Paintings: Global Warming” in 2013 to express his outrage over the rampant deception and denial surrounding the issue, and has carefully selected pieces from the series to raise awareness and prompt immediate action.
