Love Poem

I was looking through Art Us magazine and spotted this artist called Adam Cvijanovic and just loved his work. He has an online exhibition on the Bellwether Gallery website and I thought it was great. He creates a lot of large-scale illustrational landscape murals and the one I saw, 'Love Poem (10 minutes After the End of Gravity) I thought was pretty amazing.
It depicts Los Angeles 10 minutes after gravity has failed and all the houses, bungalows, cars, street signs and household items are exploded into the skies, floating around in the air all around you, freeing us of our everyday burdens and worries which is what all these objects embody.
"CvijanovicÂ’s utopia ascends in a whirlwind of consumerist ecstasy"

The images cover three walls so it's literally surrounding you and I can't begin to imagine and amazing it must look full size and up close. There's something quite scary and terrifying about it yet really spectacular.

these images remind me, in an inverted way of the ending images of Michalangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point...
Also of nineteenth-century popular entertainments such as 'panoramas' and 'dioramas'...
