Description:
The Visitor is the visual tale about a plastic bag floating above the forest. Using vivid colors and shapes Ola Intu creates an imaginary natural world, where living plants witness a contact with the strange object never seen before. The painting explores a clash between nature and human interference in the era of mass consumption, providing a reflection on climate change and plastic pollution. Stylistic blend of engaged street art with an illustrative magic realism places the forest in a central role of the observer, telling the story from its perspective. The piece captures the strange feeling, where experiencing a visit of an alien form, will never leave its viewer the same.
The Visitor is painted on a recycled canvas.
