We recently discovered the work of Switzerland based artist Teiji Hayama via ‘The New Lost Generation’ exhibition currently showing at Mondo Bizzarro Gallery. The works speak of a subtle supernaturalism, materializing in the form of elongated, milk- skinned nymphs who haunt the viewer with their glassy, bright gazes. Whether the femmes are conjured in paintings or in delicate dolls, their confrontational and sexual yet vulnerable demeanors recall portraits of both illuminated Saints and mythological characters, infusing the work with a potent blend of spiritual nuance. Take a look at more of the work below.
