Bathers on the Seine - Eel Protection Patrol
Harman's latest painting, "Eel Protection Patrol," is a profound addition to his evocative series, Bathers on the Seine. This painting delves deep into the socio-environmental dynamics of contemporary Paris, casting a spotlight on the newly emerged vigilante group dedicated to preserving the Seine’s rejuvenated ecosystem. The river, once a symbol of urban decay, now thrives with returning wildlife, most notably the salmon, marking a poignant rebirth of nature within the city’s heart. The painting is a striking tableau, depicting the self-appointed eel security guards in their distinctive athletic attire, reminiscent of the proletariat’s resilience. Their masks, both ominous and theatrical, invoke a sense of anonymity and solemn duty, underscoring the tension between clandestine activity and vigilant oversight. 4 replies
