About The Artwork

The painting depicts a futuristic scene where a large, metallic robot is reaching out to touch a humanoid figure, reminiscent of Michael Angelo's "God Creating Adam." However, in this reimagined version, the figure being created is not a natural human, but rather a synthetic one. The robot, with its sleek and polished metallic body, is positioned at the center of the canvas. Its outstretched hand is carefully poised, as if it is delicately crafting every detail of the synthetic human before it. The robot's face is emotionless, almost mechanical, suggesting a sense of detachment from the creation process. The synthetic human is positioned opposite to the robot, almost as a mirror reflection. It is depicted as a perfect representation of a human being, with the same form, proportions, and features as a natural human. However, upon closer inspection, one can discern small details that reveal its artificial nature, such as its glowing eyes or its unblemished skin. The background of the painting is dark and shadowy, suggesting the mysterious nature of this creation process. The overall effect is one of awe and wonder, as if the viewer is witnessing a profound moment in human history where science and technology have taken over the role of divine creation. The painting speaks to the growing influence of technology on our lives, and the possibility of creating new forms of life that blur the lines between human and machine. It is a haunting and thought-provoking image that challenges our understanding of what it means to be human, and what role technology should play in shaping our future.

While Mark M. Whelan's art is primarily portraits and figurative pictures. However, his aim is not to represent a beautiful image of a person or an individual in a futuristic context; rather, it’s an ongoing exploration of the process of how art is created concerning its structure, composition, colour, and technique. Like many figurative painters of his generation, it’s impossible for Whelan to avoid the looming shadows of Francisco Goya, Francis Bacon, Hieronymus Bosch and Lucian Freud, all of which have dominated the figurative world, their paintings both evocative, emotional and full of existential angst and anticipation of an uncertain future. However, Whelan is finding his futuristic path into the light, away from these titans of the art world, his work constantly seeking to go beyond the discipline of representational art and the more gestural expressionism that we are familiar with in the figurative paintings of Bacon.
