Greg Rook's visual feelings and ideology for people who live an alternative life also describe his exploration and desire for life. In Approaching storm, he depicted the commune life and explores the actual and political influence of a group of individuals who tried to survive and eventually rebuilt the society. These people are survivors of social unrest and chaos. Their desire for life and exploration of self-sufficiency may have an important impact on my future series of paintings under the theme of “depression”.
