Amazing hyper-realistic (but totally surreal) paintings by Mexican artist Victor Rodriguez. These are painfully good.

It’s like the forbidden hang spot from every 80’s camping movie crashed it’s car into a pile of brightly colored triangles + the work of Caitlin Gallupe walks away from the wreckage, unharmed + radical.

The oil paintings of Belgian artist Laurent Impeduglia come in two flavors: highly detailed + totally sparse. Both taste equally delicious.

So seriously spaced-out + South American. Florescent colors, papercuts + homages to her native Argentina really set off this collection of work by Paula Duró.

Realist painter Jenny Dubnau catches her subjects + often herself with awkward or at least uncommon facial expressions, creating an emotionally evocative experience for viewers like you + me. Something feels personal about imperfection + complexity of these faces.

When I first tripped over the work of Brandon Blommaert, more specifically, when I first found the series “Eco Station”, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was looking at. Straight up photo manipulation? Sculpture? Mixed media? Turns out it was kind of all three. There are some great photos in Brandon’s Flickr that explore the process behind creating these arresting images.

Click through for a killer gif too, part of a hefty series of gifs. I don’t think I’ve ever said anything positive about gif’s before, so you’re going to have to trust me that they’re worthwhile.
