• What will the future reveal about our choices and attitudes toward the natural world? In his
cinematic oil paintings, Alexis Rockman portrays a fermenting world shaped by human excess
and environmental corruption. He depicts the future as a saturated dystopia, in which creatures
struggle to survive toxic conditions and the onslaught of invasive species.
