thedayhascome: “Scorch II”, 30”x40”, acrylic on panel, 2009 by Josh Keyes At once meticulous and fantastic, poignant and absurd, Keyes’ carefully crafted drawings and paintings depict animals isolated dramatically in fragments of their natural environment. Holy. Shit. Here’s how small of a world it is: In the early 90’s, Josh (Keyes) was a good friend of mine as we endured the painting program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago together. He introduced me to the joys of exquisite corpse drawing at a party late one night, and inspired me 6 different ways from Sunday in the studio. I have one of his early paintings hanging in my kitchen. He’s one of my favorite painters, hands down. Click through to see why. Unbelievably cool.
