Meaning:
It is the far future, perhaps 8 billion years from now, and the Sun is facing a quiet death. All that remains is a tiny glowing ember called a white dwarf. At first the star will be fairly luminous by virtue of its temperature. But as it cools down it will grow steadily dimmer. This is a view from the Earth (if it survives) when the white dwarf has cooled to the extent that it provides barely more light than a few full moons.
What it means to me:
i feel this piece takes a new slant towards death by looking at the sun rather than traditionally the Grim Reaper. it shows how different death can be when the world may one day go bang.
Matrials:
I think this image has been painted either using oil paints or acrylic paint to produce this although there is no reference as to what materials were used. i feel the blue used in this image is to represent the cold feeling of death beause once you've gone cold and peaceful that is the end.
Overall judgement on the work as a piece of communication.
i feel this piece shows death in a new light as it is concentrating on the sun rather than the Grim Reaper himself. The colours the artist has used colpliment the concept of this piece well as blue is a very calm and cold colour to start off with so it portrays death in a different perspective to what we are used to.
