Fine Art Print: Cry of the Earth / Tipping Point

Description

Limited edition print of Cry of the Earth / Tipping Point’, a ripplescape about climate change. The artwork expresses the turbulent conditions we are currently experiencing in the wake of decades of global warming. Printed on sustainable, 100% recycled fine art paper, individually signed and numbered by Maarten, and shipped with care in a sturdy box.

Cry of the Earth / Tipping Point builds on the ‘climate stripes’ – a colour chart of global annual temperatures proposed by climate scientist Ed Hawkins in 2018 to visualise climate change. The stripes are doing a great job of making people aware of global warming, but I feel we need complementary imagery to help grasp today’s climate dynamics.

The climate stripes in Cry of the Earth / Tipping Point cover 64 years, from 1960 to 2024. Towards the end of this period, the stripes give way to a ripplescape, representing the turbulent climate dynamics we have experienced globally in recent years.
