AI-generated paintings imagine how famous historic artists would illustrate the climate crisis

Ken Bromley Art Supplies has teamed up with Lacuna 5 to raise awareness of the climate crisis -- the greatest threat of our generation -- through the power of art. A series of AI-generated images envision how famous artists from history would depict some of the most pressing issues that threaten our environment, from deforestation to plastic pollution and factory farming. When coupled with the names of famous artists such as Van Gogh, Yayoi Kusama or Claude Monet, the AI technology has created completely unique pieces of activist art, including a portrait of Swedish teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg in the signature pop art aesthetics of Andy Warhol. Earlier in November, political leaders from across the world convened at the COP26 summit to accelerate global action towards climate change prevention. Increasingly in recent times, there have also been several incidents involving climate activists destroying famous artworks to protest that'protecting life is more important than protecting art.'
