Beau White’s New Hyperrealist Tardigrade Paintings Humorously Explore Humanity’s Transient Place In A Collapsing Ecosystem
107views
In the face of the looming environmental apocalypse, Only Human humorously explores humanity’s frail and transient place in an ecosystem where some of the most seemingly inconsequential creatures are the most resilient.
As humans we have sought to tame and subjugate nature, creating sterile barriers and differentiating ourselves as “master”’ of the natural world. Despite our best efforts, nature is omnipresent and destined to outlive us all as we continue to make the planet uninhabitable to humans. White’s portraits of Tardigrades elevate this almost indestructible species to the status of deities, invisible in daily life but destined to survive and thrive in a post-human world.
Opening October 5th, 6-9pm at Beinart Gallery.
This solo exhibition runs from October 6 to October 27.
