Gavin Ryan 2006 Acrylic on Calico

A little morality tale for the consumer culture

A tale of greed and stupidity and ignorance and arrogance and cynicism and self-obsession and gullibility and intolerance and xenophobia and shortsightedness and waste. Of power and money. Of evolution, revolution and devolution. And sex and death... and shopping...

A premonition of our future when we won’t learn from history and when we blindly allow the economists and the politicians to propel our wonky-wheeled juggernaut inexorably up this one-way, dead-end highway, sign-posted “Growth”, as if there's no tomorrow.

As if...

Is there any hope?, I hear you ask.

Hope lies in what might eventually emerge from the wreckage at the bottom of the abyss.

Might be Human MkⅡ...

Then again, maybe the cockroaches will evolve the wisdom we couldn’t manage...
