Picture
​"Dissonantia"

Jim Ovelmen, acrylic and spray paint on backdrop paper, 2022 
50 feet length x 11 feet height (approximate) 


The landscape depicts an apparently bombed out urban center, reminiscent of devastation and damaged buildings in Ukrainian cities, but the place in this painting is fictional.  Commercial billboards are one feature that somehow have remained unscathed by the bombing. The billboards are mainly written in English, which a disorientation as to exactly where we are geographically. The title "Dissonantia" derives from the Latin root of a the word "dissonance". The intention is to picture how aggression permeates into forms of consumption, and the absurdity of making future predictions of what will remain.
