Currently obsessed with Josh Keyes (above: Shedding, 2009). Not only are all of his paintings amazing, detailed-oriented, bizarre, and thought-provoking, he offers up some of the most interesting sketch book pages and studio shots I’ve seen to date.
A snippet from his artist’s statement:
Through my work I attempt to examine the phenomenon of transformation and change. My intention is to evoke an emotional urgency by depicting animals that both inhabit and interact with invented scenarios, that draw upon archetypal and global mythological themes. The paintings embody a vision that is idiosyncratic, yet the familiar imagery allows for a connection to collective or global concerns we share.
