About the Artwork:
The wellbeing of the world and everything in it relies on the health of our oceans. Whales play such an important role in marine ecosystems while pollution, overfishing, and the degradation of oceanic habitats threatens their lives – as well as everyone else’s. From greed at the top to ecological illiteracy on a consumer level, we are dragging ourselves to our own graves. – Dylan Garrett Smith
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Dylan Garrett Smith is an artist, illustrator, designer, and filmmaker whose work is a product of his views regarding humanity’s relationships with – and the continually growing distance from – the natural world. Combining concepts of occultism, ecology, and memento mori, Smith stresses the importance of the cycle of birth-bloom-decay and the necessity of solitude in nature. Ashes, chalk-lead and ink on black cotton rag paper serve as the primary media to make his images, while reinforcing the natural process of life, death, and rebirth. Smith earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute of Art in Brooklyn, NY and currently lives and creates in Los Angeles, CA.
