In The Fake Plastic Earth
2023
Oil on ply, Framed
53.5 x 53.5cm
This collection takes cues from both the natural and urban environments; the skylines formed by a forest or tall skyscrapers that proliferate our modern cities. Abstracted forms and compositions are arranged from these observations. Colours that feature olive greens, subdued blues and pinks take notes from diverse barks of indigenous trees that are ever diminishing.
At the heart of the collection, it seeks to probe into the similarities and difference of the environments we live in. The cost of building is at the expense of the natural environment; segregated lines of the natural to the urban and the taming of the wild into pristine grids are impacts of the Anthropocene era. Will the tress survive the sprawl of the city or will they in turn become rectangular prisms of glass?
