Telos 2012

"Telos" (2012), by American artist Darren Waterston, depicts a surreal, dreamlike landscape. The work's monochromatic palette of browns and grays creates a sense of depth and mystery, while the jagged, biomorphic forms suggest a world in transition or decay. Waterston’s use of charcoal and oil on canvas to depict the ethereal cityscapes, creates an atmosphere of both beauty and unease, drawing the viewer into a contemplation of the ephemeral nature of existence.
