Future Unseen

2024

Oil on canvas
60 h x 60 w cm
£400

A world shaped by human actions, but one where no one remains to witness what’s left behind.

A three-part work comprising, Early Promise, Hubris Rules and Future Unseen, exploring humanity’s evolving relationship with the natural world, framed through three critical stages: harmony, exploitation, and consequence.


The final Selfish Gene painting shifts almost completely into reds and oranges. Bare tree forms stand across a hot, sparse landscape beneath an enlarged sun, while remnants of buildings and structures remain in the distance and foreground. 


The circular movement running through the previous paintings is still present but reduced. It is deliberately a landscape without an obvious human witness. Consider what will be 'after'.
