B12 Red wilderness picturedisc art 2018 by Jason Mccreadie.

“Red Wilderness,” a poignant digital painting by Jason McCreadie created in 2018, delves into the complex landscape of mental health and societal pressures. The artwork portrays a red-faced being, gagged and unable to speak, surrounded by visions of a dragon coiled around a tree in a desolate desert.

The imagery serves as a powerful metaphor for the grip of depression on one’s mind. The red-faced being represents the internal struggle and emotional turmoil experienced by individuals battling with depression. The gag symbolizes the silence and societal expectations that pressure individuals to conceal their true feelings, wearing a façade of happiness while suffering internally.

The vision of the dragon coiled around a tree in the desert represents the overwhelming nature of depression, consuming and isolating individuals in their emotional wilderness. It reflects the feeling of being trapped and surrounded by darkness, unable to break free from the internal struggles.

Through “Red Wilderness,” McCreadie sheds light on the importance of addressing mental health issues and challenging the stigma that often silences those in need. The painting prompts viewers to reflect on the significance of genuine empathy and understanding, encouraging open conversations about mental well-being, and dispelling the notion of painting on a fake happy face to meet societal expectations.
