Environmental Cross-Sections

August 28, 2008

I’m really digging the creations of artist Josh Keyes. His idiosyncratic paintings are surreal cross-sections that feature animals and societal artifacts.

From Keyes’ site:

“A central topic in Keyes’ work is his speculative imaginings about a dystopian future, where the United States operates on the world stage as a political and environmental tyrant (whether these works are perceived as speculative or futuristic depends on the viewer’s point of view). The installation A Thousand Points of Light, a reference to the administration of George H W Bush, creates a new American flag revealing the United States as both predator and prey in the political and economic “oceans” of the world.”
