Paintings About Pollution - Our Fragile Environment

These paintings are my reaction to the consequences of pollution on our planet. Using surreal abstraction they explore my concerns that crystallised during a journey through the vast unspoilt Mojave Desert on the way to Taos New Mexico - I just had to paint them, I completed them all on reaching Taos.

The Mojave Desert at the edge of industrialisation - Stop

Industrial encroachment into the Mojave desert is a steady process - like the Amazon forest it could soon be gone forever.

 Leave it Alone!

Nature is wonderful - driving through the Mojave I was reminded of the beauty of untouched places and wanted them to remain so.

That long journey made me truly appreciate the natural world and how vulnerable it is to encroachment and pollution.

 

The Series

Each painting is different, but all are environmental art motivated by the same aim - to make pollution visible.

There are so many ways to pollute

The first in my series about pollution showing the many ways we can do that. Simply called - Pollution

painting showing the many ways of damaging our environment
environmental art - the fragile Earth being mined for minerals

Red is the Colour!

The colour red for painting environmental damage came naturally - an obvious choice and right for a powerful message about the fragility of our environment. - Power Train

Pollution and Deformed Bodies

We absorb pollutants and the consequences are deformities in both body and mind - Carbon Footprint

surreal painting showing a large deformed foot from the consequences of pollution - carbon footprint

My series of paintings drawing attention to the concerns about pollution add to the  art made by other artists. Together they create a poweful message stronger than words can articulate.

Another Strong Art Series

I paint a series driven by a strong emotion from within. I visited Flanders in France to see the war graves from World War One. It changed me and I expressed my hatred of war in the series Contemporary War Paintings.
