Anomie Hot on Sale

In this piece, Dan Baldwin explores the meaning of the word, Anomie, which is defined as social instability, alienation and purposelessness, caused by the erosion of standards and values.

Baldwin explains: This work is contradictory; the happy warm colour draws you in, but the imagery is dark and disconcerting- reflecting the instability and sense of dislocation of the state of anomie. Natural elements v. manmade objects, innocence v. corruption, security v. conflict, religion v. pantheism, ornament v. rawness, youth v. decay – I am exploring all of these juxtapositions.
