In this surreal series of environmentally aimed works – all titled Apocalypse – Mangelschots depicts cracked earth, adapted buildings and rising waters resulting from global warming. (Top: Apocalypse 2 /Above: Apocalypse 6)

I should add ‘they tell us plenty’ but by showing.
I totally agree. The message is clear and the style is really intriguing. Thanks for your comment.
These paintings are very striking and remind me of the writing advice ‘Show don’t tell.’ They show without telling. Really well done and visually compelling.
