In “Kenya” by Lazlo Emmerich, two trees thrive in the molten heat of the scorched russet and gold African plains. Born in Germany and raised in the Netherlands, Emmerich was an apprentice to well-known painter Otto Van’t Sant while he was still in his teens. Emmerich experimented with poetry, politics and large-scale artistry before discovering the subtle, earth-toned images and distressed surfaces that define his paintings. Emmerich believes that beauty, purity and enrichment can be gained from the solitude expressed in his work.
