This is an oil on canvas painting by Caio Locke titled "Hereafter Horizon" created in 2021. The piece features a futuristic landscape with a glowing orange and purple horizon in the background. In the foreground, there are large, geometric shapes and patterns that appear to be floating in the air. The overall aesthetic is highly stylized and abstract, with a strong emphasis on color and composition.
Through unique and meticulous handling of colour and pattern, Locke employs perspective anomalies, optical depth, and Escher-like paradoxes to achieve intricate compositions. His distinctive layering owes its origins to etching, a discipline he learned in his formative years. The results are a combination of mathematical diligence and controlled abstraction. Reality is sieved through a dream-like filter that assimilates recognisable motifs into utopian projections akin to a hypnagogic state of consciousness, the sensation of transitioning between wakefulness and sleep.
