Cross-Country Boat Race Art Print - By Avery Gibbes

When I was making sketches for “Swimming Above the City of Orennon”, there were some different ideas that I’d had for what the rocks in that environment might look like that I didn’t end up using but I liked enough to where I figured I would use them in another painting. Those ideas turned into this composition of a natural setting with these big rocky boulder-like forms as the main point of attention. When I was considering the possibility that these rock forms could be made up of multiple different-coloured sections, I had the idea to instead have sections of them glow in the dark and to make these glowing sections work as the main sources of light in a nighttime setting. 

In regards to the boat racing idea, I was mainly thinking of boat racing here as the alien world equivalent of car racing, so I had a bit of fun designing the boats to have a roof and a tail fin spoiler part at the back to try to make them look a little sportier, although I’ll admit that I also find that the design makes the boats sort of look like glowing fish speeding along. 

The narrative of this series continues as we can see a couple of humans and a couple of aliens all competing in a race together in the bottom portion of the painting.

Artist Statement:

It’s inevitable at different points in our lives that we'll be faced with entering worlds that are outside of what we already know. Upon entering one of these new worlds, we can sometimes feel disoriented, disconnected, or isolated for a period of time.
“Paintings of Another Universe” is a series of paintings that explore the “what ifs” of an imaginary situation where a small number of humans suddenly exist within a fictional alien world. This series is about the feeling of being an outsider after entering an unfamiliar world, and about gradually finding one’s place within it. This narrative sits at the core of the series, and each painting serves to further explore this narrative and to further build the world within which it is taking place.

More About the Artist:

Avery Gibbes is an artist based in Oshawa, Ontario and a graduate of OCAD University. Working primarily in painting, his current practice revolves around the continual creation and exploration of an imaginary alien world. At the centre of his work are imagined narratives taking place in made-up environments, and these are constructed through sketches that experiment with designs and explore scenarios. Each painting builds off of the previous one, giving viewers a deeper look into what exists within the world that he is showcasing.
