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.

French artist Amandine Urruty's busy graphite drawings overflow with humorous characters. Dog-faced people, sausages painting at easels, floating teeth, and tiny bed sheet ghosts run amuck in her whimsical worlds.

Emerging artist Lauren Marx explores the intricate process of decay with her surreal and often grotesque drawings and paintings. Animals become enmeshed in each other's flesh as tendons and sinew rip apart, exposing their innards. While the subject matter often triggers an initial reaction of repulsion, Marx's ornate line work and graceful compositions are pleasing to the eye. Take a look at some of her latest work below.
Australian artist Alex Louisa draws upon life and death in nature with fervor in her soft pastel artworks. Primarily using PanPastels on textured paper, she is able to exhibit her unique fascination for her subject's peculiarities. Among her still life and landscape drawings, birds and their features are the most common subjects in her work. Their softness is contrasted against that of callous skulls and bones, each rendered with an eye for small complexities such as veins and divots.
