Event Description thumbprintgallery.com “‘Android Astronaut’ reimagines the visual language of science fiction pulp art to confront the anxieties of our culture. My art is based on storytelling, with a narrative-driven aesthetic, but I also can’t help using satire to make my point. Although these paintings are cautionary tales about climate change, artificial intelligence, and our growing disconnected society, I hope they are entertaining as well.” - David Russell Talbott
