MIKA REVELL

Unnatural Disasters 2015 - 2017

​

This series of work addresses the construction of history and the fight for this authority amongst institutions of power. Sourcing imagery from online news sites and reworking with traditional painting techniques presents these images as New images of history. Like the exoticized images of the Orient during the 19th century or statues of rulers and depictions of troops conquering new lands and peoples, Mika's Unnatural Disasters portray a sinister view of man's battle with nature.
