The post Jeremy Geddes Oil Paintings Deliver Surreal Scenes With Photorealistic Quality appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Geddes creates astonishing oil paintings that deliver surreal scenes to viewers in photorealistic quality. Each brushstroke is purposeful and placed to bridge the gap between art and reality, but the things that appear on the canvas seem hardly possible: astronauts melting or disintegrating in unknown dimensions, spacecraft crashing into buildings, cars balancing on their tips, and much more.
The scenes featured in Geddes’ paintings are hard to explain and pose more questions than they answer. This is exactly what the artist wants.
“With these paintings, I’m trying to leave the narrative ambiguous and open to interpretation, whilst juxtaposing enough disparate elements to make some sort of interpretation necessary. I’m keen to never give enough clues to block any potential explanation the viewer might bring. I want to spark questions, rather than answer them,” said Geddes ahead of the recent Thinkspace Projects exhibition.

]]>Green tries to make a difference and contribute to the welfare of animals in various ways. This includes donating 10 percent of her profits to various wildlife and conservation charities and working with these organizations on projects that aim to help animals.
Her paintings and animal welfare work have been recognized by various publications and art competitions. She was named the Leisure Painter People’s Choice Award winner for 2020 while also being among the shortlisted candidates for several other accolades.
Green’s artwork almost always features a single animal surrounded by a plain background. This is purposely done to introduce viewers to the spectacular beauty of the subjects, which are depicted to the smallest details.
“To me, there is nothing so fascinating, so precious and so gracious as the natural world,” Green says on her website. “I have been sketching, drawing, painting, and obsessing over animals and their surroundings since childhood and will continue to do so for many years to come.”
