There Are Big Paintings,

and really huge ones, 


 like this one by artist Hiroshige Kagawa, his first large watercolor painting in 2003 was about 10 ft x 23 ft, but in the 12 years since he’s been working at about 1 painting per year his works have grown by about 5-fold, the picture above, Fukushima” (2014) measures in at about 17 ft x 54 ft, it depicts TEPCO’s Daiichi Nuclear Reactor, after the disaster,

 Kagawa’s older works tended towards the celestial and fantastical: solar systems and imaginary planets or forests,


you can see more of them here and his timeline here, so the last one was about 17 ft x 54 ft and the next one will be?
