A (Darkly) Possible Reality: Kerbow’s Dystopian Images (Photos)

Michael Kerbow is a San Francisco-based artist who has a rather disturbing, but no less brilliant, vision of the future of this world. His large-scale oil paintings present nightmarish, surreal landscapes, where industry and progress have grown excessively, without regulation or care for the environment.

In his words:

My work explores the way we engage with our surroundings and the possible consequences that our actions have on the world in which we live. Through my work, I try to question the rationality of our decisions and try to reveal the dichotomy that can exist between what we want and what we manifest. Recently, my work has focused on the mechanisms that give strength to our society and examines how they can influence the construction of a possible future.
