Angelus by Ambre Kalène

Angelus

Oil on canvas 120 cm / 150 cm – 2020

Too busy in front of its screens, praying in front of its smartphone, human beings continue to consume again and again, oblivious to global warming and its consequences. Before, he gave himself a good conscience by creating nuclear power plants, by saying that it was clean energy, without wanting to assume anything nuclear waste, contenting himself with burying it, hiding it at the bottom of the well, like a child who hides candy wrappers under his bed. Today he plants wind turbines that kill birds. Where is the progress ? The water rises, raise your eyes from the screens and cultivate your garden.
The kingfisher uses the floating screen to wait for dinner.
