Description

.This is a visual, strange and dreamlike art book with 230 full colour visionary pictures, that will appeal to all art lovers and creative students. The passionate and philosophical thinking behind Miles Walker's paintings skim across the future, artificial intelligence, science fiction, poetry and humor. This is bizarre humorous binge art, that you could see on debtflicks if it existed. It explores hyperrealism in art, the pigment of lies that gives you the texture of pork pies....The extraordinary portraits and landscapes have a surreal deceptive perspective. You will see visions of our articulate political, and religious controllers who have turned our lives into an artsclub theatre for the media to put into episodes that they call the daily news. International arts councils should come with a government health warning! Is the art society we live in politically incorrect? Buy this book it is a global warning that shows the unusual humorous time we live in.....Life on earth is an art installation in this science fiction art gallery we call existence.....This offbeat poetic art book will be on every tea table (or is that coffee) of concerned curious art lovers.
