Armed with a watercolor set and ballpoint pens, artist Jeremy Hush creates detailed works featuring daring female adventurers on the borderlands of the decaying natural world. Employing a muted, earthy color palette and his fingerprint smudges as a unique shading technique, the compositions convey a narrative sense of wanderlust as these characters set out on the fringe of society to forge new identities in the wilderness. Among the industrial residue of their surroundings, they form closer bonds to the animals and birds they share their melancholy, yet beautiful, world with. His new body of work, ‘ A Curious Commotion’ opens March 4th, presented by Anagnorisis Fine Arts as part of the Verge art festival in Brooklyn.
