Inspired by a trip to Venice, the British artist Kelvin Grey refers to the 4 panels of the work “Visions of the Afterlife” by Hieronymus Bosch from the Gallerie Accademia. The series shows the stages from heaven to hell: Terrestrial Paradise (the garden), Ascent of the Blessed (the flood), Fall of the Damned into Hell (the judgment) and Hell (the fire).

Kelvin Grey confronts this master cycle with a 4-part series entitled “Visions Of The Hereafter”, a polyptych of four gardens that evolve from the present terrestrial paradise to our potential future landscape with disturbing scenes of floods, fires and storms. The work as a whole is a statement by the artist on climate change and its potential impact on our world.
