Pure Liberation

2022, Oil on Italian Linen, 130 x 130cm

For the first time in history it is now cheaper to produce energy renewably rather than burning fossil fuels. Sure, there are still more fuel vehicles sold each year than electric. But the transition has begun and the tipping point, imminent.

Pure Liberation is a painting that looks to a time when we are fully released from fossil fuels’ yoke, a third industrial age; A new dawn breaks over an established tree growing from the oil tanks of yore, a relic of a time hopefully as alien to them as the first industrial age of steam is to the present.
