Spill (for Johanna Partyka) Painting

This piece was inspired by Extinction Rebellion and Disrupt Burrup Hub protests in Art Galleries here in Perth and elsewhere against fossil fuel extraction. It is a reponse to the interventions by activists spilling paint and other materials onto already existing works sometimes improving them. In particular it is a homage to local Activist Johanna Partykas' screenprint over a classic Australian outback painting Fredrick Mc Cubbins' "Down on his Luck" on which she stencilled the name of an Australian miner Woodside. I hope viewers will get the message which is a comment on the irony of needing fossil fuels to sustain life on earth while it destroys the environment .I have used motor oil as a medium to paint with tying the content to the means by which it is expressed. Logos of Multinationals are everywhere and I have used the most well known ones to cut across racial and ethnic barriers.
