ZEITGEIST VISIONBLUR – DREW HYDE Opening Tuesday 6th June 6pm

ZEITGEIST VISIONBLUR by drew

Zeitgeist Visionblur is a collection of mixed media collages concerning our present way of living. Lockdowns induced by the pandemic were the catalyst for this series of work. They are a series of agitprop posters, fighting against the grave state of our despoiled planet. As each year passes we grow further and further from nature, that is to say life is out of balance. There is a collision between urban life, technology and the environment.

Our growing population is also the cause of many of our environmental issues yet the topic of population is mysteriously absent from most dialogues. In my lifetime the population has risen from 2.5 billion to 8 billion! Population, rapid urbanisation, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change ETAL would all abate if we could only reduce our population growth.

The works in this exhibition are trying to address some of these issues. -Drew
