Chris Jordan’s newest painting “Gyre” represents the negative view of the ocean by the materials from which it was made and the dull colors. This image was created from the millions of pieces of plastic that are found in the ocean every day. The plastic adds to the grainy texture that is similar to sand or dirt. The colors the painter chose to portray create a dreary monochromatic feel to the picture. Although the picture is held steady mid-wave, it has a lifeless feel due to the lack of vibrant colors that are generally associated with the ocean, a thing of beauty. The painter is trying to imbed the message that pollution can lead to the destruction of something once beautiful.
