The Desolation of Smog

“The Desolation of Smog” by Nathan Gibbs transforms a fiery sky into a haunting warning. With ghostly skull forms rising in the sun and a palette of polluted reds, yellows, and ochres, this piece critiques environmental decay through surreal beauty. A bold statement for collectors of eco-conscious, apocalyptic contemporary art. This painting depicts the issue with our beautiful sunsets, they are more beautiful because of pollution in the air.

Workbench monologues is a series of abstract surreal surf art and landscape paintings that often focus on a theme.  That theme could be environmental, personal growth, or any other similar topics. I will hide images within the work such as eyes, animals, or subject matter related to the overall theme. They are very organic and texture heavy. Zoom in and take a closer look at paintings within the paintings and see what there is beyond the obvious.

Almost all original art is painted on wood panel and acrylic paint. It is sealed with a gloss varnish. Some come framed with a simple redwood or pine frame. Frames are optional and can be removed. Others have a epoxy coating for a gloss finish. All original art purchases come with a lifetime trade in guarantee. Contact me for details.
