The artist often offers insights into each of the works he shares on Instagram, whether in the differing influences on the content or the materials chosen for a given work. On the above piece, he says this: “I can’t remember where I found the idea for all parts of this drawing, but I remember it was in one documentary, but the idea can be a homage to some Pieter Brugel paintings as well. For sure, I’ve mixed some childhood memories of when spent some time living on a farm. There’s practically lots of good memories from that period I can use for artwork nowadays. If I am informed correctly, this drawing is reserved and after the exhibition closes it will stay in France in a private collection.”

Next month, the artist has a show with Paolo Del Toro at Nucleus Portland. See more of his works since he was last featured below.

Often times, the paths we take in life are unexpected. Brooklyn based artist Hanna Jaeun first studied apparel design and it wasn't until she spent two years in a corporate job that she realized it wasn't the life she wanted. She decided to start over, picked up a paint brush and taught herself how to paint. Over time her art ventured into a dark place where hybrid figures and animals journey into the unknown, similar to the uncertain path Jaeun chose for herself. "The people in my paintings are either physically part-animal or longing to be animal... My animals bring to life my desire to tell a story," she says.
Dominik Schmitt’s oil and acrylic paintings carry flashes of dark surrealism, clinical diagrams, and a provocative, humorous sensibility. The German painter’s use of text, often paired with specific elements of a work or buried under abstraction, add another layer of intrigue to each strange narrative. The artist’s work has been shown across Europe.
Elizabeth Glaessner utilizes water-dispersed pigment and inks in her absorbing, vibrant scenes and portraits. The works, moving reality and dreamlike settings, explore humanity in their imperfect forms. Often, her work is pulling from both mythology and her own experiences in her paintings.
Gosha Levochkin’s fanciful, strange worlds, often rendered in watercolor and gouache, carry an undercurrent of autobiography for the artist. The artist says “these mediums gives me the freedom to work with mistakes. I love the transparent feel that watercolor gives me and I love the opacity that gouache provides, over all making my work look like animation.” He was last featured on HiFructose.com as a solo artist here.
