Boring Apocalypse Study Study Original Art by Andreas Claussen
Mixed Media Painting
Framed 39cm x 44cm
From Claussen's ironic "FLOOD" series, this study painting captures a moment of mundane apocalypse as an astronaut lounges on a pink flamingo pool float. Set against deep blue waters, the red-suited figure appears almost bored with their situation, creating a humorous commentary on human adaptability.
Claussen's masterful technique is evident in the loose, expressive brushstrokes that create movement in the water and define the forms. His careful attention to the reflection in the astronaut's helmet and the vibrant pink of the flamingo float creates a piece that perfectly balances environmental warning with sardonic humor.
