"It seems oddly appropriate ... that 'Dark Eden' should end up in a city named for that ghost of the great American Serengeti - the buffalo," reads the entryway into Frank Moore's "Green Thumb in a Dark Eden" collection at the Albright-Knox museum.From abstract interpretations of post-modern interactions between man and nature explored through vibrant splashes of color and detail, to the simplistic, yet deeply entrenched moral dilemmas associated with the artist's infection with AIDS, "Dark Eden" clearly portrays a man attempting to deal with and overcome conflict.Moore's roots and lasting family tradition in the Queen City make his collection's display in Buffalo all the more fitting.The collection depicts the conflicts of man and post-modernity, showing an extreme fascination with genetic engineering.
