San Diego artist Christopher Konecki aims to take a whimsical look at mankind's misunderstanding of his own environment, in particular nature. Self taught, his paintings mash natural images with an unnatural style of acrylic paint and aerosol cans. His latest work confronts an inevitable future where hardship is constant, but the human spirit carries on. In imagining this future world, Konecki draws inspiration from past events in particular the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. He takes an irreverent look at mankind's self destructive behavior in times of great hardship. Konecki also sprinkles in some humor because no likes a party pooper.
