Photos: Canadian Artist Breaks Internet With Images on How The World Might Come To An End

Canadian artist Steve McGhee created apocalypse-like images showing how the world might possibly come to an end, in a bid to stress the frailty of human existence.
Hailing from London, Ontario, Steve McGhee is a graphic designer and digital artist by profession.  But it’s from his personal artistic pursuits that many of his most inspired – and destructive – creations originate.  McGhee attended George Brown College in Toronto and honed his Photoshop skills by sneaking into third year advanced classes while still a mere first year.
McGhee acquired the skills he would later use to turn the urban landscape into scenes of disaster and dystopia.  In addition to top notch Photoshop abilities, the other ingredient necessary for this apocalyptic cocktail would be a vivid imagination, which he has in awe-inspiring abundance.


Drawing on some of the darker moments of his own life,
McGhee said:

“For me, the only way to heal is to use the moments that knock us down in the same way as the moments that build us up.  Whether it be death or life, it seems to take me in the same direction.  It seems to end at the same place – the desire to create.”

 Our world abounds with lost civilisations, from the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah to the enigmatic lost city of Atlantis.  Whether real or imagined, their fates were the same – destroyed by earthquakes, fire and water.  McGhee’s digital art takes us into the eye of the storm, underscoring the futility of words in the midst of nature’s fury.  In an odd sort of way, these moments bring people together and remind us of our common humanity.
