In \u003cem\u003eProteus\u003c\/em\u003e, expressive color and spontaneous-looking lines create an organic form that invites viewers to explore the relationship between nature, imagination, and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eProteus\u003c\/em\u003e recalls the shape-shifting figure of ancient Greek mythology, associated with the sea and the ability to change form.
