MIKA REVELL

This series of paintings explores the use of images of destruction and the mediation of global environmental disasters through the media. Each painting presents a manmade environmental disaster as depicted in global news outlets and social media. Revell uses oil-based paints, in hyper-saturated pinks and purples, to depict a rose-colored lens through which these horrific events are distorted.

​

From Hiroshima to the oil fields of Kuwait, each painting is a document of man's folly and Nature's fury. This series presents the viewer with a stark reality of the arrogance in the Anthropocene.

 

The works are large (40" x 40") oil on canvas paintings, with a limited run of prints-on-canvas.
