FUTURESCAPES
Annie Ewaskio

GALLERY III

February 1 - February 25, 2012

FUTURESCAPES investigates the disorienting possibilities of a world that is not presently ours. Ewaskio’s images continue the tradition of Western landscape painting while posing questions about the longevity of our terrain. The work is made simultaneously with fascination and repulsion, associating pure beauty with its potentially poisonous origins. An acid rainbow arcs over a behemoth structure fracturing in decay. Fluorescent sunrises gleam through atmospheric smog, while tiny figures reference icon worship and pilgrimage. Cityscapes morph into a cloudy, starry sky. Using a bright, fresh hand, Ewaskio pairs oil paint’s unrivalled qualities with a contemporary take on landscape painting, and asks us to consider what will be our world to come.
