Time and Space are Fine

 

After seeing some graffiti proclaiming that space and time are doomed, I decided to make an abstract painting with a counter argument that space and time are in fact, fine. The painting was mostly improvised on the spot, it was not based on any prior drawings or doodles. I saw my cell phone sitting on a chair next to the fish tank, and it was reflecting the water bubbles upside-down, which you can sort of see in the phone-like shape bottom left. An asteroid is passing by, with a probe descending on a parachute, inspired by the latest space mission. Eerie neon symbols hover in the inky black, green and magenta sky. What painting about space and time would be complete without a Dali-esque melting clock? Based on the image, maybe space and time are not fine, but that's okay.
