Billy Childish's 'Volcano' is a multi-layered screenprint that showcases the artist's raw, expressive style. The work depicts a powerful, erupting volcano, reflecting the artist's fascination with natural landscapes and elemental forces.
Created for Greenpeace's 50th anniversary, the work speaks to environmental concerns and the raw power of nature.
Childish is inspired by his surroundings and the rudimentary power of landscapes. His quick, intuitive approach leaves space visible, creating a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. The volcano motif connects to broader themes in visual culture, from romantic landscapes to contemporary environmental art.
