Storm Warning Painting

This is the third piece in my 'future skylines' series. The series in general explores the world we will leave behind for the next generation and uses different striking colour palates to convey emotions and whimsical line drawing to create details for the viewer to find and study. The main inspiration here is the environment, extreme weather and the natural world taking back what we have stolen as a species. I would like viewers to find a sense of loneliness and serenity from the work and pleasure from the relaxing colour scheme chosen but also a kind of anger - the finger of blame is pointed towards capitalism and religion for damaging our society. The image is created by layering different viscosities of watered down acrylic on a watercolour base. Fire is used to bubble this paint and make it flake in places creating texture and damaging the canvas lightly causing it to brown and stretch. This process was chosen to mimic the way capitalism has damaged the fabric of our society. During my travels in Australia I was lucky enough to experience a fantastic electrical storm which silently passed through the skyline of Brisbane city without a drop of rain at the end of wildfire season. Caused by charged particles in the air from the fires. The scene here is loosely reminiscent of that scene which was burned into my memory forever.
