In addition, I’d also had a friend mention to me that it would be interesting to see one of these humans possibly longing for their old world and for how things used to be there now that they’re in this alien world. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe best concept I could come up with in terms of how to represent this idea was to picture a figure sitting alone and looking off into the distance at something far away. Having a setting sun as the focus in the distance also seemed fitting in the sense that it represents a fleeting moment of something that this human would find familiar—even if maybe it isn’t exactly the same sun as the one that they’re used to seeing. I was hesitant to go with this idea because of how often sunsets are used in art; I didn’t want this painting to seem too cheesy or cliché. But in the end I think the idea was effective in accomplishing what I was hoping it would. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe “water canopy” that the girl in the painting is sitting on top of was conceived initially as a natural cave-like tunnel structure with holes\/openings all throughout the top and sides. However, as the process went on, I came to think the structure as being more canopy-like given that many of the other ones that you can see in the painting didn’t end up being as long and tunnel-like as I’d originally envisioned. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-4991e0e2-7fff-8a7d-009d-f2b86916ac30\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eIt’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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMore About the Artist:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Instagram:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/averygibbes_artist\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/averygibbes_artist\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Avery Gibbes","offers":[{"title":"7x5\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":47240069153020,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7x5\" \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":49212129837308,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x8\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":47240069185788,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x8\" \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":49212129870076,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14x11\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":47240069218556,"sku":null,"price":35.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14x11\" \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":49212129902844,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x16\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":47240069251324,"sku":null,"price":56.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x16\" \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":49212129935612,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24x18\" \/ Unframed","offer_id":49212129968380,"sku":null,"price":76.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x18\" \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":49212130001148,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5660\/6716\/files\/7_1_copy.png?v=1749678141","url":"https:\/\/collective-hue.com\/products\/outside-the-city-of-harennon-sitting-on-a-water-canopy-art-print","provider":"Collective Hue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
