“Paintings explore the concept of connectivity and connections that arise from unnatural and unexpected sources”

The Canadian artist Jacub Gagnon spent much of his time in his studio. Resulted from this confinement, he artistically painted surreal paintings which keep viewers curious, self-reflected and wondered by meticulous blending, layers, and remarkable detail. Through this artiwork, Jacub tells the story of a world that is sweet as well as disturbing, a showcase of how humans manipulate and borrow from nature. Using small brushes and handling them as he would a pencil, Jacub is able to achieve an illustrative quality that edges into the peculiar world of Pop Surrealism. This colourful, almost child-like fantasy renders the troubling issues that face the habitats and species of our time into otherworldly depictions that capture the imagination.
He is also known for his curious backgrounds of void space, using a spotlight to emphasize whimsical representations of naive fauna, which are placed at bizarre odds with human objects.
