The Surreal Paintings of Nojus Petrauskas

The surreal worlds painted by Nojus Petrauskas offer both otherworldly creations and everyday inhabitants. With no stated narrative and rich information across the canvas, the works of Petrauskas warrant repeat viewing. Though, with a knack for horror, the paintings aren’t always friendly.

The surreal worlds painted by Nojus Petrauskas offer both otherworldly creations and everyday inhabitants. With no stated narrative and rich information across the canvas, the works of Petrauskas warrant repeat viewing. Though, with a knack for horror, the paintings aren’t always friendly.

“Nojus paintings are full of storytelling, mysticism and grotesque scenes,” says Art Cart. “According to the artist, painting is a great way to express and visualize the inner, fantasy world. To paint actual, visible world is boring and useless. Young painters’ works are remarkable and hard to forget. His rich and intense visual language, unique characters and storylines told in the paintings guarantee unforgettable impression.”

John Guy Petruzzi’s Paintings Encounter Ecological Disasters

John Guy Petruzzi uses watercolor and acrylics on synthetic paper for his vivid explorations on ecological disaster. The vibrant pops across these scenes from the natural world may be intriguing, but they tell a story far more ugly. As fellow painters Lauren Marx and Tiffany Bozic explore the dire consequences of our actions in meditations on life and death, Petruzzi also adds to this conversation a clashing and blending of textures and materials.

Eloy Morales’s Paintings Show the Uniqueness of Human Faces

A skilled hyperrealist painter, Eloy Morales creates large-scale portraits that play with the expressiveness of the human face. Often using himself as a subject, his mural-scale paintings immerse his viewers in the hairs and wrinkles of his subjects. With each face towering over the viewer, the details becomes much more apparent than what we see in our day-to-day interactions with others. Morales often uses the face as a sort of canvas, as well. For many of his self-portraits, he lathers himself in paint to create an interplay of textures. In other pieces, he covers his sitters' visages with props like googly eyes and butterflies. If you find Morales's skills impressive, he frequently teaches painting workshops in Madrid, where he is based.

French Artists 100TAUR and Hisham Echafaki Exhibit in “Lusus Naturae”

On October 14th, French artists 100TAUR and Hisham Echafaki will debut new works in their two-person exhibition, "Lusus Naturae" in London. Borrowing their title from a Latin phrase that describes any creature or specimen that defies classification, the exhibit will include a series of paintings, drawings and three-dimensional works that depict "freaks of nature". Their works feature fantastical hybrid creatures alongside some of the world's most bizarre members of fauna. Both 100TAUR's portrayals of mythical monsters in their dark world and Echafaki's intricate, pattern-filled works explore the human fascination with oddities or monstrosities along with our fragile relation with the nature.
