Confrontation, 2001
“I like big things, and North America has lots of big things – grizzlies, ungulates, black bears, and the moose. I see a correlation of the strength and the drama that can be played out in the two different regions. There’s a romance to the West and there’s romance to safari and I try to capture that – not only in my work, but from a creative person’s standpoint, and the whole way that I share my experiences. It’s not just in the two-dimensional surface.” - John Banovich
