Monster of the 21th century
Painting, Political / Social, Oil, 180x135x2cm
I´ve been painting a human being as some sort of a monstrosity.
That monstrum is like a Medusa, but there are no snakes growing out of the head. Instead of that there are various elements coming out of his head, which symbolizes things that cause environmental problems. For example a chainsaw (the cutting down of forrests) or a dirty waste pipe (the pollution of waters and soil), a hand stretching out for bank notes...
This monstrum is wearing furs und shoes made of leather and is stuffing himself with huge lobsters. This is referring to catching quotes and the overfishing of the seas.
With this painting I wanted to show the one-sided abusing and exploitative relationship, that mankind seems to have against nature.
