Jon Ching (American, b. 1985) <em>Flourished Merriment</em> We are all in this together, and the inter- connectedness of species and ecosystems is a particular passion for artist Jon Ching. His brilliant photorealistic paintings inspire close observation of flora and fauna—as well as flights of the imagination. Ching’s surreal conceptual works remind us that we are all fantastic and part of each other on this great planet.
