“Ambivalent reflections”
beach-of-globalization, by Australian  outback surrealist, Shane Gehlert

"Ambivalent Reflections on the shore of Globalization"  36x36 inches

This is one of a few highly political paintings of mine. The naked and vulnerable nymph is surrounded by the nationalistic beauties, bathing sublimely, yet threateningly, nearby. Next to her is a beachball, a plaything, a mere toy to the onlookers, cloaked in the flag of that nation of renown, of fallen Babylon. But how will this game pan out in the sea of manipulation and globalization?
