In The Forest Howls Tonight, Ken Laraman introduces a distinct and exciting series of recently painted conceptions.

These paintings revolve around the artist's views on social issues such as sea pollution, climate change, consequential ignorance, and environmental loss - employing either poetry as a starting point or the use of language as a gauge of commitment.
