    Description

    In Avarice the urban decay evident in the
    large Soviet style building and the sprawled human hybrid figure in the foreground with its
    corpse-like pallor all allude to physical decay in its corporal and urban manifestations. This
    also ambiguously alludes to the zombie metaphor for consumerism, which will be examined
    in Chapter 4. Although the viewer might not immediately make sense of the hybrid figure as
    a zombie, all the figures in these works are recognisable as not purely healthy human forms
    and each figure bears a mark of the abject, which is intended to cause the viewer to question
    the state of humanity as a whole.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Poetry of Decay: The decay evident in contemporary society does provide
    rich soil for the growth of a dystopian zeitgeist. Thus, decay and its manifestations within the
    social order, in both physical as well as psychological terms, provide a dynamic metaphor for
    the aesthetic interpretation of the dystopian zeitgeist. I postulate that what is viewed as the
    dystopian zeitgeist does not necessarily signal an apocalyptic end but is emblematic of the
    fall of the liberal humanist system and the dawn of the new posthumanist age. Furthermore,
    what is perceived as negative manifestations of the dystopian zeitgeist: crime, racism,
    xenophobia etc. is, in fact, the reaction of humanity, driven by avarice at the end of the
    humanist era and is therefore, in essence, a metaphorical kicking against the pricks.
