]]>While humans are finding ways to deal with those consequences, the animals have it way tougher to adapt to the changes. This is what inspired artist Lisa Ericson to create a captivating series of hyperrealistic paintings that show animals dealing with rising sea levels.
In Ericson’s works, a rabbit can be seen trying to avoid the water by climbing on a cactus, while a deer attempts to keep its head above water by standing on a coral reef.
Ericson says that the goal of her paintings is to “awake” the interest of humans in the natural world and make them rethink how their actions affect it.
“By creating these pieces, I’m doing the same thing I hope my viewers are doing — personally reckoning with the immense scope of our global climate disaster,” Ericson said in a recent chat with Hyperallergic.
Ericson’s most recent series is currently on display at Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles, California. If you can’t make it to LA, then check out more of her works below.

According to the artist, by painting artwork from the past he hopes to offer the audience a new way of thinking about these pieces.
“I think that drawing pictures is a process of conveying the visual gaze to the viewer by looking at the object unfamiliarly and expressing it in my own formative language,” – Jeong tells My Modern Met. “Even familiar objects are expressed in various shapes depending on the emotions and thoughts of the observer, the colors and materials used, and the shapes of lines and brush marks.”
