This is a quick painting i had to do.
Originally this was one of my old abandoned artworks. I had no idea what to do for the school artwork, so i decided to take the easy way out and finish this one off. Originally, all I had was a background which was really an experiment with oil paints. From there i wanted to turn it into something so I drew buildings because at that time my interest was buildings. I assume it still is a factor to my interests....

My first idea from a while a go was to colour in the buildings with tone, like something very realistic, but as time was short with the school artwork, I decided to change my idea and just do the outlines which creates a meaning, just like in my "City Chat"painting. That meaning being an environmental issue that is meant to evoke social comment. The background now exemplifies a metaphor through the rainbow coloured background. Since this is a city scene, this is the environment that once was happy and healthy, just like a rainbow which represents Happy. But now, thanks to human disruption, buildings live here, and with buildings comes environmental issues such as pollution and power wastage. That is why it is meant to raise social comment although it is not exactly clear through my artwork.

Just a quicky,
Enjoy!
