Doomed scape

2012

 

18-piece polyptych

 

Graphite on paper

 

212 x 315 cm

 

Drawing based on a dream.

 

“The vision of the artist can be primarily synthesized by Doomed scape. The work is a metaphor for the exploitation of natural resources in the economic-industrial capitalist era; the wrecking machine digging a basin, which grows ever larger, eventually effecting the core of the machine itself, and its consequent destruction. Doomed scape stands as a clear reminder of a savage exploitation that raids itself, sucking greedily at natural resources and consequently heading towards a failed future.“
