Drown - by Michael Marks (USA)
Oil and acrylic on canvas, 41 cm x 51 cm (16" x 20").
Michael : "My works investigate themes of present and future, featuring deconstructed and distorted realities that traverse themes of science fiction, climate change, symbols of permanence, puzzles, and my role as an artist in society. They are captive moments that both reveal and obscure meaning while celebrating their own illusion.
Within this assortment of images and environments, I invite viewers to contemplate and explore the collection of narratives present in these visual possibilities by re-imagining the classical through a contemporary lens.
What will our society be remembered for after we are gone ? What will we leave behind, when we are left to float in the void of space or in the memories of others ?"
