Genus Antarcticus DSC0013 Matte Canvas, Stretched, 1.25"

Genus Antarcticus DSC0013 is a part of the Mathmosphere series of works. 

Mathmosphere is an evocative art series that explores the destructive impact of our consumption-driven behaviours on ourselves, our health, our relationships, our environments, and nature. Drawing parallels with the Mathmos from the film "Barbarella," each piece in this collection uses the fluid dynamics of pouring acrylic to depict the insidious spread of negative emotions and harmful practices. 

Just as the Mathmos feeds on fear and hate, our relentless consumption fuels environmental degradation, societal discord, and personal turmoil. The swirling, abstract forms in these artworks symbolize the chaos and destruction wrought by our actions, capturing the tension between beauty and menace. Mathmosphere invites viewers to reflect on the hidden darkness within our modern lifestyles and the urgent need to cultivate positivity and sustainability to counteract these destructive forces.
