Earth Inc. 1990

Mark Kostabi’s 1990 painting “Earth Inc.” depicts a group of stylized figures around a large yellow sphere, which may represent the earth. The figures are painted in bold, flat colors, creating a geometric and somewhat humorous composition. Kostabi is known for his work in the Neo-Expressionist style, which often combines elements of pop art and surrealism. The painting's title suggests a corporate and perhaps exploitative relationship with the planet, while its playful style makes it a striking work of art.
