Surreal Paintings Depict the Duality of Man and Nature's Relationship - My Modern Met. Time and time again we come across themes of nature and man switching between working together and in opposition of one another. Oftentimes a series sticks to one stance, but Greek painter Vasilis Avramidis depicts the duality of man and nature's relationship in his surreal landscape oil paintings, merging the two entities and allowing them to play off of each other.
In the artist's series of interesting environmental renditions, man and his creations are of the Earth. Nothing is man-made that is incapable of being swallowed by the mossy green land on which it rests. At times, even man himself is part of the emerald landscape that engulfs and supports architecture and made objects. So is it a struggle to keep afloat or an agreement to work as one? Avramidis' thought-provoking paintings will be on display as part of his first UK solo exhibition entitled Caretakers at Jacob's Island Gallery through October 20, 2012.

Deconstructed Watercolor Portraits by Henrietta Harris. Do not adjust your web browser, these distorted watercolor and gouache portraits were painted just as they appear by New Zealand-based illustrator Henrietta Harris who says her style “can only be achieved by having occasionally dipped one’s paintbrush accidentally in one’s coffee.” A pretty apt description for these dreamy portraits that seem to convey the precise moment when one becomes lost in thought or memory, an ethereal wind of distortion whirling temporarily through the subjects’ mind.
Harris graduated in 2006 from the Auckland University of Technology and his since done work for Amnesty International, Vice Magazine, and BITE. She has a number of prints and several of the original paintings you see above available for sale through her website. (via flavorwire, ignant)
