Through humanity’s depletion of valuable resources from our planet the quality of air, water, and soil has been diminished drastically. This depletion caused by humans invading wildlife habitats has led to the destruction of a fragile ecosystem, forcing the wildlife to lose what they call home. As time goes on with more ecosystems being destroyed, wildlife has moved away from their homes, invading the spaces of their destructors.

This series of gouache paintings, and color pencil and crayon drawings titled “Serenity: The Time Before Eradication,” portrays wildlife found in their natural habitats before any destruction has arrived, peacefully living without humanity’s invasion. All pieces are made by Frederick John Kluth.

“Serenity: The Time Before Eradication,” will be on display beginning September 9th, 2022 through September 17th, 2022. The opening reception will be on September 9th, 2022 from 1-4pm. The exhibition will be at the FJKluth Art Gallery located at 300 North Water St, Suite I; Kent, OH 44240. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
