Description

Comment follows as soon as I am back from shopping :aww:

Originally, I wanted to delete this small note, but now, I recognized, that it ironically fits the meaning and concept perfectly:

Buying, selling, money, even though it is only fictional money, numbers on a display, worth nothing i fact, because there is more "money" available on the interational finance floors than wares, seems to get most important in our society.
banking and economic crisis have shown us the borders of this thinking, now.
Commerce keeps us going. I am not totally contra capitalism, nor I want to damn all economical structures... but I got this distinct feeling, that our world might sell itsself soon - the question is what for?

The painting shows the globe withan oversized sign "sale" as this message became oversized important... cities and skyscrapers overfill the land, their shrill colors in contrast to the quite natural colors of oceans and universe.

Therefore - the shrill colors and the placative use of symbols - and the theme itsself, I think this may be considered as "Popart" eve though it is hard to decide, because popart shows a huge diversity in styles and motives.
