Tropicalypse by Gonzalo Fuenmayor is an art piece composed of charcoal divided into four equal parts. Standing 7 tall x 15 feet wide. It is hung in landscape orientation, meaning its longest side runs parallel to the ground.The panels depict a single ongoing black, gray and white image. The composition depicts a dark gray sky interrupted by black and white images. There are silhouettes of palm trees in black and what seems to be clouds, flames or flashes of light represented in white. The image’s scale emphasizes the placement of the trees, some of which reach to the top of the composition, others that creep into view at the bottom Panning left to right, the trees could represent a bar chart starting at the top of the left panel, gradually dipping and forming a slope through the second panel, finally reaching its lowest point in panel three and finally rising slightly again in the last image.With a closer look the palms look like they are up in flames, in fact there is only one tree positioned in the third panel that is fully black. All other trees and palm leaves are taller and are either engulfed in flames or burning at the trunk of the palm. One tree in the second image has a swirl of fire spiraling in an S formation around the trunk. Behind this desolate nightscape there looks to be some swirling wave motion, with a lighter toned gray, implying what could be the ocean in the lower part of the background. The sky is equally gray with vague smoky images of palms in the distance. What could easily be mistaken as stars are actually floating embers in the wind.
