Artwork Description
A dark tower looms over a paleâ turbulent sea. A lone figure stands in opposition. This figure is taken from Friedrich\'s \'Wanderer Above the Mists\'. This is a visually busy painting. The sky includes painted dinosaur skullsâ text and found materialâ spatters of paint and overlapping layers of whitesâ brownsâ blues and blacks. The dark tower may represent industryâ corruptionâ authority or controlâ while the lone figureâ taken from one of the most famous works of Romanticismâ is the brave representative of humanity.
