The artwork entitled “I’m into Shooting in Natural Environments” was created by artist Dana Schutz in 2008. Belonging to the Neo-Expressionism art movement, the painting is classified as a figurative genre work.
In the artwork, an individual seated on a chair is depicted, appearing to be in a relaxed state, holding a glass in one hand and resting their other hand on their lap. The figure is wearing casual attire with rolled-up sleeves and reddish-brown pants. Surrounding the individual are various objects: a small table with an empty glass, a painting of an abstract face on a black background, a gauge-like instrument mounted on a piece of wood, and a colorful abstract canvas placed on the floor. The scene is set outdoors, implying a natural environment with a green and blue sky above and a sandy, barren landscape below. A red and white striped cloth is laid under the individual’s feet, and there are several potted plants and miscellaneous objects scattered around, contributing to the eclectic and somewhat surreal atmosphere of the piece.
