About this artwork
Hominids depicts different kinds of humans.
To date there now 9 different modern homonids.
Subsets of which are Orangutans, Gorillas and Chimpanzees.
Homo sapiens(humans) are the highest order and that order encompasses all of humanity.
Our superior sized brain coupled with our ability to reason and articulate our thoughts setting us apart from all other homonids that have died out. Such as Neanderthals, cromagnon man etc.
Draw from this what you… will, but for me sometimes I wonder about the titles and accolades we embellish ourselves with. We have yet to prove just how capable and successful we truly are.

« Our world is tearing itself apart environmentally, socially, and economically. It is my job to highlight the faults as I see them. I disguise dark themes with color and rhythmical lines. »
Marc Rayner is an Australian artist based in Sweden who has exhibited his works nationally, as well as in Sweden, Monaco, France, Qatar, Italy, India, South Korea, Denmark, and Japan. The key to his artworks is the creation of 'quasi-landscapes' rich in text and design, or flat and almost devoid of information. This 'distorted zone' is a place where Rayner's tormented, disenfranchised, and often unfortunate characters exist. He is drawn to outsider artistic styles and naive art in broader terms.
