About this artwork
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary since the Apollo mission saw humans take their first steps on the moon. Now, as a species, we launch over a dozen spacecraft every single month. Humans are even projected to land on Mars within a decade! How is it that we can put humans on other planets but haven't even figured out how to live with each other in peace yet?
The sun is dying — a process in which its surface expands to the point that it will… eventually engulf the earth and all life along with it. Let's spend our limited time on earth affirming it and enjoying it, not taking it away.
This piece was painted on the floor using using acrylics and a palette knife to produce streaks from unrestricted human movement. These streaks were layered to build an intricate scar-like texture, resembling human fragility. Metallic bronze highlights change the mood depending on the viewing angle.

« My artwork was born from my experiences as a security scientist and is a reflection of my ongoing struggle with the nature of humankind and what it means to be human. »
Jordan J. Plotnek is an experienced Australian-Brazilian painter with international exposure. Working within abstract expressionism he gains inspiration from his scientific research and nomadic travels to investigate the nature of humanity; particularly in response to pressing contemporary issues such as international security, climate change, and globalisation. Plotnek's work treads the line between captivating and uncomfortable, luring the viewer in and provoking them to engage with their own psyche and question the world around them.
