RE: Figurative Painting - Anthropocene Artifacts: Human Relation with Nature
So basically we have moved from being the wide eyed adventurer, who was in total awe of nature, to becoming sheepish and bewildered.
In our race to conquer nature, we have ended up being conquered by the side effects of the we have done.
From the first picture that shows the world in all its majesty and splendor, to the drole, dreary and dull of the second, to nature taking its revenge for our missteps.
What's worst is how man is depicted. We are strong, fit, and posed for any challenge in the first. The second, we believe we have conquered, so we are relaxed and totally at ease, oblivious the damage we have caused. Uncaring to what was done. Well, the third, nature has returned and it's not here for fun.
Interesting. It would appear this way, life in stages, so everything would naturally evolved or transcend in such un-natural stages. Sort of like the whole primitivism vs. transhumanist perspective. For the latter progress just comes from more technology. Thank you for reading ad the insightful comment.
