The world of Masakatsu Sashie’s oil paintings is dominated by an intriguing take on the dystopian future. In his works, this Japanese artist showcases floating orbs consisting of urban residue.

The outsides of Sashie’s orbs are made from rusty metal sheets, neon signs, ACs, vending machines, gas pumps, and much more. They are shown floating against the backdrop of decaying cityscapes from where their building materials were sourced.

According to Sashie, these paintings are inspired by everyday landscapes and buildings, billboards, and garbage that can be found in them. The floating spheres represent worlds “isolated and cut off from the majority.”

 “The world is a complex composed of fragments of everyday scenes, and many motifs are incorporated that allow the viewer to feel the accumulation of time from the past to the present,” Sashie explains. “This is not nostalgia, but an attempt to imagine the future from the present.”

His works are a commentary on overconsumption and massive urban expansion. However, they also serve as a nod to human creativity and innovation, as well as their ability to use the materials at their disposal in impressive ways.

A dystopian future is a common theme in art. There is something about the world being in a worse place than it is today that piques the imagination of artists and inspires them to create some astonishingly captivating works.

One such artist is Simon Laveuve, who creates miniatures that represent housing objects as he sees them in the distant future. His creations are full of intricate details and curious structural solutions, ranging from a house that is floating on the sea thanks to barrels to an elaborate Asian architecture-influenced home built on a single pole.

According to the artist, habitat and survival are central elements of his approach.

“My pieces, for the most part, have this common point of depicting a shelter,” Laveuve explains on his website. “A shelter for man, made by man, whose figure is not necessarily present. I like working on height and the inaccessible. Protection and abandonment. Fallen icons and their symbolisms. Resistance and insubordination.”

Self-taught, Laveuve started creating his miniatures in 2016. He prefers to use recycled material whenever he can, believing in “the principle of second life and recycling through art for creation.”

Continue scrolling to check out more of Laveuve’s miniatures that are coming straight from his version of the dystopian future.
