The Awakening

by Chris Postle

Mother Earth and our beautiful oceans are under a huge threat at the moment from humanity and our massively increasing population and demand for more food. After recently watching some disturbing documentaries Chris decided to try and do his little bit to help create some awareness of just what this planet can offer.

Also a deep yearning to protect for our future generations.

The painting comes from the heart as the ocean is my playground also and I feel right at home painting one of my favourite subjects.

The mermaid was initially inspired by one of my four beautiful daughters whom has a love for drawing and painting fantasy. How fitting to have a beautiful mermaid in total harmony with the ocean life, a symbol of our existence half human half fish, maybe a statement about being a little more in tune with the underwater environment, the keeper of our existence.

I hope in some small way that my painting can impact a little on people’s minds to pull back a bit and take notice of what we are doing to the oceans. I love my seafood also but there are plenty of more sustainable ways to keep the balance.

Chris will be unveiling his masterpiece at Tinbeerwah Community Hall on the 19th & 20th Jan along with a diverse range of Chris’ latest contemporary art pieces.

All welcome opening 9am till late both days.
