Lena Klyukina’s Surreal Drawings of Nature and the Cosmos

Lena Klyukina's drawings of interplanetary exploration overflow with surreal details. In one piece, a hot air balloon approaches an enormous fish that floats above a row of suburban houses, seemingly descended from the starlit sky above. In another, a woman with six breasts wrestles with the ungainly sattelite attached to her head. Klyukina appears interested in exploring the intersection between humans, nature, and the cosmos, and our often misguided attempts at understanding the universe. Take a look at some of her latest work below.

Oscar Oiwa’s latest 360-degree drawing, “Paradise,” is hosted in Japan House in São Paulo.

Armando Veve, a Philadelphia-based artist, creates drawings of surreal scenes and constructions, though each element is rendered in realism. His eye for detail works on granular level, with Veve’s slow and meticulous process producing countless dots and lines for one cohesive image. The style recalls both pointillism and vintage illustrations in reference books. And its striking results have garnered commissions from high-profile publications. Veve was last featured on Hi-Fructose here.
Images of an infant’s face marked with a plastic surgeon’s pen and an elderly woman with wrinkled skin that glows green under the light of a tanning bed are just some of the deeply disturbing images that will be displayed at Gusford Gallery as part of Oliver Jones's solo exhibition, “Love the Skin You’re In,” opening September 12.
The female subjects of Sasha Ira’s drawings are at varying stages of life, symbolically encountering strings that bind them or a surrounding growth of flora. The artist's knack for subtle expression offer varying impressions of control in how these women grapple with what’s enveloping them. In her current show at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York, “Devenir,” Ira’s graphite renderings are mixed with acrylics, colored pencil, and other mediums for pops of vibrancy. The show runs through Sept. 11.
