Pollutopia Arc - Mantra 01 (PEBBLES), Acrylic on Canvas


While flicking through some of my wife's science books I discovered the outline of this image and felt compelled to fill in some of the circles with Pollutopian colors. I think it was a biology book and I forget what the diagram was actually of. Because I am still developing the color scheme for Pollutopia, it was nice to create a very simple painting with the main colors I have been using all together.

Pollutopia - ...For Now (Watered down Acylic/Pencil/On Canvas)

This guy is just a big Purple Pollutopian Jelly Monster that is kind of absorbing a city. He looks up towards the sky and speaks to his Gods. I like him because the more he absorbs the bigger he grows and so to him it is a positive thing to absorb a city but the residents of the city may disagree. It is hard to blame him for the devastation he is causing when he is just doing what he is meant to do. The residents of the city wouldn't die they would just become apart of the giant creature and live a new life through him.

It is really about scale for me though. The people in the city are like bugs to the Jelly Monster so why would he care what happens to them anyway? When people go out of their way to kill little bugs I think of creatures like this that might feel the same way about us. What could we really say to them? That is my interpretation anyway.
