This original work «Big Brother is watching you» was created by contemporary Austrian artist Walerij Baranow.
The painting by Walerij Baranow «Big Brother is watching you» is a fierce neo-expressionist reflection on total control and dystopia, inspired by Orwell's ideas. The work is done in mixed media using wood and metal, giving it a harsh industrial texture.
The dominant color is a poisonous green, the color of phosphorescent glow, symbolizing electronic surveillance and an artificial environment. At the center of the composition is a huge grotesque hand, with a puppeteer holding strings that stretch down to the heads of the crowd below. The fingertips of the hand show outlines of the human brain, emphasizing that control is exercised at the level of consciousness.
In the center of the canvas shine the words «BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU». Below, in green light, stand silhouettes of faceless people, led by the will of the invisible puppeteer.
On the left, in the upper corner, there is a metal element with a solitary piercing gaze, which is the second (or main) source of surveillance. Urban landscapes with neon signs «HOTEL» and «BAR» serve as the background for this drama, emphasizing that control penetrates all spheres of life. Walerij Baranow created a tense, disturbing canvas about the loss of personal freedom.
You can hang this painting on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
