Raven Roost by Robert Bateman NEW RELEASE!!

In tribute to Bateman's 96th birthday, May 24th, 2026 the edition size is out of 96.

"Often I am asked, especially by artists, where the ideas for my paintings come from. Out of the blue could be an answer. One was a red turban in front of a terra cotta wall – 'Cardinal and Sumac.' 'Cardinal and Wild Apples' grew out of Joni Mitchell’s song 'The Big Yellow Taxi.' Abstract artist Clyfford Still’s work has inspired several paintings, 'Mountain Goat – Sheer Drop,' 'Descending Leopard,' and 'Wadi Arava – Israeli Wolf.'

Last year while visiting the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art I saw another Clyfford Still incorporating a large black patch with little jagged windows of deep blue. The idea for a big Douglas Fir at night came to me at once. The sleeping ravens were an obvious added touch since we have both large fir trees and ravens on the hill above our house." Ravens are one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet, the highly intelligent Corvidae family, rivalling great apes and dolphins. For many indigenous cultures, the raven is a powerful symbol of creation, knowledge and transformation. Ravens are magical creatures, able to take the form of humans, animal, even in adamant objects. They are the keeper of secrets, often known as a trickster figure due to its mischief and curiosity. Ravens are also seen as a creative and cunning helper to the creator who can shape shift and bring important messages for humans. Like homo sapiens, ravens plan for the future, have exceptional memories, particularly for faces and past events. Living in complex, social groups, ravens can recognize individuals and remember relationships. Ravens engage in complex, social behaviours, such as tactical deception and comforting others after conflicts, families are formed and they stick together. With a large repertoire of distinct calls, ravens can communicate a wide range of messages. They are also skilled mimics, able to imitate various sounds, including human speech. Ravens are known throughout the world as messengers, and tricksters. Nature’s Scene is a family business and approaching 50 years. I am excited to release these tow Raven pieces, a transformative new beginning we have all been hoping for."
