American artist Josh Keyes creates detailed animalistic fantasies. The poignant and absurd drawings and paintings depict animals dramatically isolated in fragments of their natural environment, overrun with shards of man-made artifice and debris. The imaginative artistry displays an unsettling juxtaposition between the natural world and the urban landscape. In this way Oakland-based artist Josh Keyes is able to express his personal experience and also comment and interpret events in the world.
Implications - Personally, I can't get enough of Josh Keyes' sharp and colorful illustrations. He manages to carve out a distinctive aesthetic that makes his art work unique and memorable. His ability to blend elements of surrealism with a minimalist look is a strong indicator of an artist with unusual talent. Do not be surprised if you begin to hear the name of this Cali-creator more frequently.
