FEROS Animal Paintings

Ukrainian, b. 1992
FEROS (Serhii Hrekh, b. 1992) is a contemporary Ukrainian artist whose visual language bridges the raw energy of street art with the philosophical depth of surrealist painting. Born and based in Lviv, Ukraine — a city rich in architectural and artistic history — Feros began his career as a graffiti artist, transforming public spaces with bold, expressive murals that wove personal memory with social commentary. His early street work established his distinctive use of color, form, and symbolism, quickly gaining him recognition in Ukraine and abroad. Over time, Feros transitioned from large-scale public murals to canvas-based works that delve deeper into abstraction and figurative surrealism. His current paintings are layered, psychologically charged dreamscapes. Blending elements of mythology, memory, architecture, and the subconscious, Feros constructs alternate realities that challenge viewers to reconsider the familiar. His compositions are often marked by distorted bodies, symbolic objects, and luminous, otherworldly palettes. While traces of his graffiti roots remain in his bold linework and compositional rhythm, his evolving technique reveals a sophisticated command of color and emotion. Feros’s work is deeply autobiographical yet universally resonant. Each canvas explores themes of transformation, longing, dislocation, and imagination — often shaped by his lived experiences in contemporary Ukraine. Whether portraying a surreal figure atop a white horse or abstracted fragments of urban chaos, Feros invites the viewer into a layered visual narrative that blends personal reflection with broader cultural questions. He has presented solo exhibitions including Conspiracy Theories at Snisarenko Gallery (Online) and Dzyga Art Space, Lviv (2024); Escape from Reality at Snisarenko Gallery, West Hollywood (2023); and participated in LA Art Show (2025) and Volta Art Fair New York (2024) with Snisarenko Gallery. His group exhibitions include The Same Words at Lavra Gallery, Kyiv (2023); Passage Through Darkness at Lucreate, Lublin (2023); and Stronger Than Arms at BSMT Gallery, London (2022). Earlier shows include Crossroads of Consciousness at Intelias Art Point, Lviv; Something Inside at Unmute Gallery, Budapest; and UK/raine at the Saatchi Gallery, London. Feros’s work is held in private and institutional collections across Europe and the U.S. He continues to live and work in Lviv, where he is actively contributing to the evolution of Ukraine’s contemporary art scene through a voice that is both deeply personal and globally resonant.

Cuddly Snout (dog, snout, nose, lady, vintage, animal, surrealist oil painting)

By Rudolf Kosow

Located in Quebec, Quebec

"Cuddly Snout" by Rudolf Kosow is a stirring piece that captures the tender relationship between a human and an animal, portrayed through the striking close-up of a pet dog's snout, with a person resting peacefully against it. The animal's facial features are rendered with exquisite attention to texture and detail, each whisker and patch of fur beautifully accentuated. The small figure of the person, leaning with an air of contented ease against the snout, is a testament to the comfort and solace that animals provide. This closeness conveys a shared moment of rest, an unspoken bond of trust and affection that needs no words. The artwork’s title, "Cuddly Snout," encapsulates the warmth and gentle nature of this interaction, highlighting the simple, pure connections that form between the hearts of humans and animals. Kosow’s work invites us to reflect on the soft, quiet moments that we cherish with our pets, those times of closeness that bring us joy and comfort. It’s a visual homage to the silent, heartfelt communication that deepens our bonds with the animal companions who grace our lives. This painting is a tender reminder of the unconditional love and comfort that our furry friends bestow upon us, often becoming a serene haven in our lives. keywords; painting on canvas, surrealist painting, animal vs human, americana, nature, man, man vs nature, surrealism, giant animal...

Poetry of the bird, surrealist drawing, 1948

Located in PARIS, FR

Joséphine Beaudouin (1909-2005) Poetry of the Bird, surrealist painting, 1948 Oil on canvas Signed "Joséphine Beaudouin" and dated "1948" lower left 13,7 x 10,6 inch Born in Albi in 1909, Josephine Beaudouin (née Cals) showed an early interest in drawing. At the age of twelve, she moved to Paris where her mother, Jeanne Ramel-Cals, ran a literary salon that was frequented by art world figures such as Ambroise Vollard. In 1925, while her first drawings appeared in the magazine Crapouillot, the young artist entered the School of Decorative Arts where she studied fresco painting. She married the architect Eugène Beaudouin in 1928, with whom she traveled throughout Europe. Beaudouin, a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, designed a series of buildings that were precursors of modern architecture in France (Clichy, Maison du Peuple; Antony, Résidence universitaire Jean Zay). Josephine Beaudouin exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon des Tuileries, the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. The work of the one that Jean Cocteau described as "bewitching" is full of mystery. Her work bears the stamp of an extraordinary personality. Indeed, Josephine Beaudouin developed a penchant for dreams at a very early age and took refuge in the works illustrated by Gustave Doré. Her technical virtuosity and overflowing imagination were praised by the critics of her time who unanimously greeted her Marmorées (ill.1). Named by René Barotte, these are paintings made on marble slabs from 1955. The artist exploits the infinite resources of the veins of this support which inspires him poetic compositions with unusual subjects. Marked by surrealism, she returns to the fantastic by delivering a prodigious creation of the mind made of dreamed cities and trompe-l'oeil. The 1948 painting that we propose probably represents a red-billed chough. The bird is a recurring theme in the work of Josephine Beaudouin, as in her life. An avid ornithologist, she kept an aviary in her Parisian home where many island birds were kept. She also built up a collection of stuffed birds. Still on this theme, the writer Claude Aveline (1901-1992), author of the poem L'Oiseau-Qui-N'Existe-Pas, invited several visual artists to freely interpret what this bird could be. The first series of works was produced between 1956 and 1963. In 1957, Joséphine Beaudouin delivered a work with a pen of great finesse, now preserved at the Centre Pompidou (ill.2). Several renowned artists also responded to the invitation of the poet such as Jean Cocteau and Ossip Zadkine. The precision of the graphics of our painting testifies to an attentive observation of the anatomy of the birds. The artist paints with great delicacy: the technique is impeccable, the drawing is careful, the material is smooth, the details are represented with great finesse and mastery.
