When Mankind was Young
Part 2: Neolithic Sanctuary, 2010
10 Works

In "Neolithic Sanctuary", the second part of the four-part visual anthology titled "When Mankind was Young" started in 2010, Eric Torriente continues to presents works with scenarios that leave the viewer pondering about the beginnings of mankind and it's discoveries. These new large scale mixed media works take on a new stylistic turn and are encrusted with bright tones and transparent layering. These new drawings, paintings and sculptures become large artifacts of expressionistic imagery that tells the tales of the beginning of human civilization.
