Charles Pachter’s Surge juxtaposes two iconic and beloved images of nature. The Canadian moose, which is often referenced by Pachter, looks down from a high cliff on the famous Japanese image of The Great Wave by Hokusai. This interplay lends a light, whimsical element to the subject. Symbolically, ancient cultures and traditions are contrasted against much younger, nascent nations with new ideas and customs. The spatial qualities of the painting are also interesting, for it is not just the wave and the moose that hold your attention, but their positioning in relation to the vastness of scale between them. The viewer is lured into the middle space, the boundless blue expanse of pigment that is both calming and mesmerizing.
