A theme that I selected for a series of drawings and paintings that represent the battle between Man and machine that has been ongoing since the technological revolution. It is this struggle that pushes man to exceed his expectations, supporting the fact that a man's reach should exceed his grasp. In reality, it is more like a man's desire exceeds all else, leaving him blinded. The fight between good and evil, light and dark, heaven and hell, white and black.. these direct opposites will always exist to maintain the equilibrium that is such a necessity in our simple lives to restore sanity.
From Top to Bottom:
The Spark of Life: Reinterpretation of Michelangelo's 'Creation of Man', in the present day, Mankind's 'Creation of Machine'.
Combined Force: Showing the strength that will come from the positive combination of the two forces.
Giving birth to the Future: A prediction of how the human race will be developed and created to perfection.
Overpowered: The early stages of Man succumbing to the boasting power of technology and machinery. (The matrix)
Quenching thirst: The dependency that currently exists on machines to get things done without the requirement of water.
