Science Fiction at its best has
always been a form of social commentary.
Precautionary tales and imagery that cover issues such as politics,
race, prejudice and inequality.
“Alien Lives Matter” Is a painting directly inspired by the demand
for justice for victims of police violence and the institutional racism which
continues to plague the United States.
As an Illustrator of science fiction I ask myself what would it look
like if we as humans treated an extra terrestrial the way we treat
ourselves? What might the outcry from a
coalition of young multi racial activists look like? I set out to create a composition which
depicts a peaceful protest march through the streets of New York City's Times
Square. Oil on Panel 30"x 40". Limited Edition Print available here.http://ericwilkersonart.com/store/alien-lives-matter-limited-edition-
