Going Down Like The Sun Original Art by Andreas Claussen
Mixed Media Painting
Framed 88cm x 128cm
From Claussen's nostalgic "FLOOD" series, this painting captures a poignant moment as an astronaut with their pink flamingo float encounters a submerged vintage "Sunset" sign. Set against deep blue waters and fading daylight, the weathered sign stands as a testament to a world now underwater.
Claussen's masterful technique is evident in the rusty textures of the old signage and the reflective qualities of the water. His careful attention to lighting and composition creates a piece that perfectly balances environmental warning with americana nostalgia, suggesting both loss and resilience in a changed world.
