Dark Side 

"Dark Side" by Alex Gross is a hyperrealistic painting that portrays a young woman on a beach. The woman is holding an ice cream cone and talking on a cell phone, seemingly oblivious to the surroundings. The scene is populated with blimps advertising various companies and an offshore oil rig, referencing American consumerism and the ubiquitous nature of advertising in modern life. Gross's work often explores themes of technology, consumerism, and the human condition through surrealist juxtapositions and meticulous detail.
