Features 47 artworks from private and public collections that trace the artist's career from Pond's Edge (1986) to The Reef (2009). Inspired by 19th-century landscape painting, science fiction film, and firsthand field study, Rockman's paintings proffer a vision of the natural world that is equal parts fantasy and empirical fact.
