AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A black, pyramidal volcano dominates this apocalyptic tableau, its summit riven by incandescent streams that cascade into an aureole of sulphurous yellow before dissolving into a sky the colour of molten iron. Below, a blasted plain rendered in quick, agitated strokes of grey and white bears sinuous fissures of lava that glow like capillaries under skin. On the left, a lone, monolithic tower rises through the haze, its stark verticality a fragile counter‑point to the volcano’s massive bulk.
The palette shifts from fiery oranges and reds at the horizon to ashen monochromes in the foreground, suggesting a narrative arc from creation to desolation. Thick impasto around the eruption contrasts with the scumbled, almost vaporous surface of the plain, underscoring the tension between dynamic and dormant states of nature. While overtly fantastical recalling literary visions of Mordor the work also registers as an ecological memento mori, warning of landscapes destabilised by both geologic and human‑induced forces.
By compressing distance and scale, the artist collapses viewer and event into a single, precarious vantage, implicating us in the spectacle and the consequence alike.
Can a painting come to life? Can time stop and flow at the same time? Discover the mysterious 3D animation inspired by this extraordinary work - where the line between art and digital reality blurs in magical movement.
