Shane Gehlert "Utopian Reflections" acrylic on canvas 22x40 inches

Basking in the last warming rays of the sun, stands a reflective and contemplative industrial idyll.

She gazes out onto a Utopian future, with all the hope and desire of our industrialized lust.

But on her left, the devil himself.. that wily old fellow from Tasmania, (Sarcophilus harrisii).  Waiting in the wings, oil bowser in hand, ready to cloud the future with oily promises.

On her right, stands Saint Bilby (Macrotis lagotis). The patron saint of all that is true and just in the diaspora of mammalia. But will his blessings be enough to ensure the survival of that utopian future?.........
