This is giving me mad Vivarium vibes. Anyone seen that film? It wasn't good but boy was it eerie
Ahhh pastoral America. Looks like home ♥️
Looks like a Joni Mitchell nightmare.
I am not parking at the back of the lot.
Great piece.
You're making autocrossers drool.
I assume the artist is American. These kind of plannings (huge parking lots etc.) only exist in USA, well mostly.
Great painting by the way.
People can paint things from other countries.
Of course. But there is a good chance they'll prefer things from where they live / when they lived, and there is a good chance that place is their country.
It puts me in mind of squares of cornfields, which are in and of themselves a gross imposition of human industry upon the natural world. Though us contemporary humans look at them and think how picturesque, how wonderfully alive and fertile such a scene looks.
