Ignorance is a curse
Stanley cheche
The painting is themed ignorance is a curse mainly because people choose to do the wrong thing purely out of ignorance without being mindful of the outcome of their actions. The painting was inspired by the pollution in Kenya. How rivers are polluted from upstream and by the time it reaches Malindi into Indian ocean the trail of destruction and sickness that people depending on such water sources are left with is untold. The country has a big problem of people and factories polluting the water bodies with all manner of pollutants like sewer water, harmful chemicals just to mention but a few. such acts not only kill marine life but also make people who depend on the rivers, streams, lakes who consume the water end up with diseases that are hard to treat and not only that even wild animals die when they consume it. The painting is a bird view of a water body that sewer and other impurities have poured into it. The blue part in the painting is the clean part of the ocean that is yet to be polluted, the red part in the painting signifies the death of marine life that has been taking place over years, the black part in the painting is the oils, sewer and other chemicals that are poured in the water bodies. The items on the painting signify the non-biodegradable things that are mostly found to be thrown in the water bodies and this include expired medicines, metallic objects like screwdrivers, water and juice bottles. Name: Stanley cheche, Title: we’ve decided , Size: 100cm *100cm* 5cm, Medium: mixed medium abstract on canvas, Year:2019 the painting is a birds view of a place where people are demonstrating across the country.
