Cristopher Cichocki's New Earth Art
The multisensory work of Cristopher Cichocki builds upon survival ecology, developing contrasts and union between ancient and technological elements by constructing a beautiful, anxious and raw electronic wilderness. The madness of unsparing nature and its subjection to industry discloses a confrontation for dominance, where together they perish under the desert's hellish sun and intense salt water sea. Cichocki's inversion of the spectator in this new world order ensues a relationship concocted by painting exotic landscapes with blacklight shrubs, photographing earth across the surface, all the while swimming into other worlds full of colors and fascination.
