Artwork Description

The Consequences of Conspicuous Consumption

0.0 x 0.0

Dowdeswell's epic tale of life in the urban landscape. This is a frenetic world of fast cars, fast trains, neon lights, big brother, commuters, shadows in the underpass and the anonymous lives of others. A socio-political undercurrent runs throughout the piece with references to the effects of capitalism and excessive consumerism, the threat of terrorism, global warfare, social housing, prison, and our relation swift strangers in the city, whom we pass in the streets everyday but may never know the stories of their lives.
