Mark Messersmith's Eminent Domain Paintings show three-dimensional paintings by the Florida-based artist. Messersmith’s works depict the density of wildlife subject matter in each of his Maximalist paintings, augmented by carved pediments installed above the canvas, mixed media dioramas attached below, and, occasionally, objects dangling in front of the canvas. He combines all of these elements in an inventive and powerful way to tell stories of environmental changes and their profound effects on wildlife along the edges of suburbia in the American South.
