Famous Robot Painter Opens Gallery in New York of Mars
Francis Clover was declared a maverick painter at the age of four; he has been painting robots from the early age of six. When nano-tech paint was first introduced to the market, Clover was among the first to master the art of motion portraits.
When he added Ai chips to each image with words of wisdom from each robot, it took the experience of viewing his paintings to a whole new level. Nowadays, his paintings are auctioned for millions of dollars and the wealthy among us fight for the right to hang his pieces in their halls.
Now Clover is opening a new gallery a bit further than his usual haunts, on the New York Colony of Mars.
We asked Francis what compelled him to open a new gallery in Mars' NYC, where his painting may be harder to get to for earth dwellers, to which he replied;
“When I started painting Robots, it was a way to magnify their essence. I found in each one the hope of humanity, the hope that a parent invests in a child. It is the hope that Ai will help humanity be better, that advancement will improve the lives of all beings. Hope, that in reaching for the future, we will ultimately solve the problems of the moment. So, in reaching for a gallery on Mars, I am reaching for the expansion of our culture beyond the boundaries of Earth. One step of many that may one day bring more light and life to the whole Universe. “
Well, there you have it. If you want a new painting by Mr. Clover you’ll have to take a bit of a trip for it. But he promises it will be well worth it. His latest collection is inspired by the retro series of robots with an enhanced sense of humor program, and their words of wisdom are worth a few days of space sickness from hyper-speed travel.
