Computer Bug Series #2
Vertical Takeoff

Edward A. Obermeyer
4' X 6', Acrylic on Canvas

This painting continues to explore the connection between technology and nature by juxtapositioning images of computer chips against butterflies from around the world. The diverse collection of butterflies reflects the wide diversity of cultures on our planet and how they are affected by technology. Combinations of mostly paintbrushed images and subtle airbrush overtones work together to present a somewhat cubist, fragmented world of colors, shapes, forms and species of exotic butterflies.
