Joel Rea created the painting ‘Echo Repeat’ shortly after visiting the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The painting is set in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda, a grand space featuring the iconic dinosaur exhibit. The artist reimagines the famous interior, introducing a large breaking wave and features spectators studying the ghost like spectres of their ancestors. Rea’s intensely detailed artwork presents an original depiction of our world's scale of time through the painters inventive juxtaposition of extremely diverse natural elements.
