Hurricanes, 2007, acrylic on canvas
This series of paintings featuring hurricanes is a combination of coloured radar weather images based on models designed to predict temperature differences in and around these storms. The other aesthetic inspiration behind the painting is Pop Art, an American invention that reflects the allure of advertising, the aim of which is to generate wealth.
Katrina, 2007, 190 x 200 cm, acrylic on canvas.
Images of hurricanes are a kind of “portrait” of specific storms that have regularly devastated and continue to devastate the Caribbean and the United States. In a way, they are an image of something horribly inscrutable that is the product of human greed and sensationalism. It occurred to someone that they were the flip side of advertising – capitalism.
