WAR (by kire and Spartan)

--------- PLEASE CLICK FOR FULL VIEW ----------

This matte painting is a collaboration with ErikShoemaker for SLASHTHREE's 20th exhibition, "War".

The scene depicts a classic dystopia: riots in a city of a totalitarian regime, a concept inspired by various media.
It was a lot of fun to make it and a huge pleasure to work with my friend Erik. You can also see it at Erik: erikshoemaker.deviantart.com/a…


You can see the rest of the exhibition on Slashthree's website: www.slashthree.com/exhibitions…

I hope you like it!

About Slashthree WAR :

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” ? J.R.R Tolkien


It is with great pleasure we present our twentieth release, WAR. A tour de force, and a milestone exhibition (our 20th), WAR features more than 60 beautifully crafted works in a variety of medium and artist interpretations. From the word in its most literal form, to abstractions reflecting upon internal struggle, the concept of war evokes a deep emotional response within all of us. We think you’ll agree; WAR is one of the collective’s strongest exhibitions to date.
