Description
I'm a big fan of Sir Ernest Shackleton. I recently stumbled on a photo (taken by Frank Hurley) that shows Shackleton standing in front a huge icy structure, a tiny human figure interfacing with massive wall of ice. The photo struck a deep chord in me and I found my thoughts suddenly transported into the future imagining one of Shackleton's descendants filled with the same spirit of exploration traveling to a newly discovered icy world far from their home planet. In my futuristic painting I wanted to capture a part of the past as well and so placed two crew mates with the future Shackleton to symbolize with the two crew mates that went with the original Ernest Shackleton to get help for the men stranded on Elephant Island. On the horizon I painted jagged ice to resemble the shape of a wrecked three masted ship similar to the barquentine ‘Endurance’ that Shackleton and his crew sailed to Antartica. In the future storyline I believe this team of scientific explorers will be successful and return to their home planet with new knowledge.
