‘The coming’ is inspired by the beautiful views of the magnificent sea, the unending sky and the busy harbour of Mevagissey from Polkhirt Hill. In this painting I wanted to convey the sheer energy and power of the sea, it’s dramatically beautiful and volatile nature.
A deeper messsge lies beneath though regarding climate change and how human beings co-exist with nature but are somehow so very disconnected from it in this day and age. This wave is a reminder to us all of the delicate balance between the climate and man and how our continued negligence may come back and remind us where the power truly lies.
Mixing realism with the abstract makes for a more powerful impactful almost surreal image here in acrylic on canvas.
