Description
A single cumulonimbus boils up through the whole frame — no boat, no plane, no ground, just the storm. Turmoil 2 is the most monumental of Lemercier's Point Cloud turmoil silkscreens: thousands of white-ink dots on black paper, made "to convey the chaotic feelings one may experience in times of climate crisis," a dark sublime he traces to the engravings of Gustave Doré. Released with turmoil 1 in March 2023. Edition of 100, numbered and signed.
