SUBTERRANEANS (1992) by Michael Whelan

Acrylic on Canvas - 44" x 33"

The perspective is false. For some reason, whenever I tried to make the picture do what I wanted it to do via the conventional laws of perspective, it lost its focus, the feel of ascending immensity going on forever. So I discarded true perspective in order to paint it the way that felt right.
