Everyman's Cry from the Wonderful Land of OZ

Signatures of Steven Paul Riddle’s large-scale canvases include a vital

palette, manipulated surfaces, and compositions of broken form. His

paintings comment on literary fantasies, art history, and pop culture icons.

Riddle appropriates and re-examines, manifesting a labyrinth of prismatic

cubism to be thoughtfully decoded by the onlooker. In “Everyman’s Cry from the

Wonderful Land of Oz,” Riddle not only contemplates the Frank Baum classic,

but Henry Littlefield’s 1964 dystopic, allegorical essay on the epic tale.
