About the Item

A futuristic animal hybrid stands at the center of this fantastical landscape in acrylic ink on Arches watercolor paper by Peter Hamlin. The meticulously detailed bird-like creature is whimsical and surreal, its back housing a little village of stacked houses with tiny nanobots peeking out from the windows. More nanobots peer out from windows lining the bird's chest. Fantastical flowers and imagined botany surround the little village and thrive in the bird's habitat. Signed, dated and titled on verso. This series is in part inspired by blurring boundaries between nature and technology. The monochromatic palette draws from traditional ceramic and applied arts patterns and narrative forms. The paintings are coated with a special Golden Paint UV filter and a matte medium which imparts a subtle kind of porcelain feel. The price for framing is separate, please inquire with the gallery. Envisioning a future in which technology is indistinguishable from life, Peter Hamlin blends fantasy and science in compositions that breathe with awareness and futuristic hybridity in vibrant color, synthetic layers and meticulous, delineated systems. In Hamlin’s imagined environments, nanopeople, robots, cyborg plants and curious otherworldly organisms coexist. The artist’s work explores how we adapt as a species, determine our future and prepare for what’s to come as technologies radically change how humans experience and interact with the world. The precision and exactitude with which Hamlin paints seduces the viewer with beauty and beckons one into his supernatural world. The artist was awarded an MFA in Painting at Lehman College, Bronx, NY and a BFA in Illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Hamlin lives and works in Brooklyn.

  • Surrealist Large Royal College of Art LGBTQ+ Female Artist Horse Pink Blue
    By Isabel Rock
    Located in Norfolk, GB
    Isabel Rock is a creator of contemporary fairy tales. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, her work is an explosion of strange occurrences while a surreal narrative takes the audience on a journey into the imagination. In October 2023 Isabel won the Evelyn Williams Drawing Award at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. Known as the UK’s most prestigious annual open exhibition for drawing; part of the prize is a solo show at Hastings Contemporary, scheduled for 2024. Whilst Isabel always has a tale to tell for each of her images, you may or may not choose to go on the journey with her or you may indeed have a different story, one of your own that jumps off the page at you, that that you decide to follow. Artwork Details: Horse of Hope, 122x152cm, Collaged woodblock print, acrylic ink on Somerset satin paper, 2023 Artwork Provenance: from the Artist Studio photo credits, Isabel working, black and white shots, James Brown In Isabel's own words: Horse of Hope The world had become a sad grey place, mud, empty plains with bleak, loveless sky as far as the eye could see. It seemed that all was lost of the old world. Until one day a whisper began on the breeze, so quiet that you could hardly hear it. But it grew stronger and stronger until the trembled with the sound. 'The horse of hope is coming, the horse of hope is coming!' The horse of hope had arrived, its dainty hooves tapping along the way. Where there had been nothing but emptiness the horse trod and from its feet sprung new life and hope. The world became a lush carpet under its footsteps. Up sprang greenery, pushing its tendrils to the sky. Blue irises reached out their twisted delicate petals welcoming the new life in. Strong, dark foliage grew and grew, and with this creatures began to return from their hiding places. Out from rocks and stones they came, for there was hope once again and the world buzzed with new life. *Please note we are happy to ship this work rolled in an art tube.

Rock creates a world that pulls you in and demands your attention. Quality of line is paramount, the drawings are created using a dipping pen and acrylic ink. An essential tool is a squirrel...
