Idea and Concept
While brainstorming in our group, we came across this idea of an apple seeking revenge due to the unnatural actions of man kind. We pursued this idea further and decided to use the following concept for our artwork. Genetic modification of food or plants and use of pesticides for the cultivation of food has altered them so much so that it might come back to haunt us. We eat apples because it is presumed to be healthy but now with genetic modification and use of pesticides, it may harm our health.
Comments on Masterwork (Surrealism)
Done By: George Grie, June 2009
Title: Ghost ship series: The ninth wave
The above masterpiece by George Grie illustrates an old sailor’s expression of “The Ninth Wave”. It means a single wave larger than all the others. This wave is often referred to as a destroyer or killer wave. In reality, although waves sometimes form larger ones when they meet, there is no fixed interval when a large one can be predicted.
The concept of “ghost ship” may have started because the most remote and isolated places on earth is the sea and in ancient days, your survival on the sea depends on one’s ship. Thus, this dangerous transport arose some very intense superstitions.
One the contrary, “The Seventh Wave” is the wave that sailor’s wait for, when they have no wind. Based on the above context provided by the artist, I believe the masterpiece is conveying that one should not sit down and wait for things to happen. One has to find one’s own determination and collaborate in teams in order to succeed and ensure safety in life. This shows that we are interdependently connected to others on earth.
