Super A’s “The Other Way Around.”

Currently on view at The Lancaster Museum of Art and presented by Thinkspace Projects in Lancaster, Calfiornia is artist Super A’s solo exhibition, “The Other Way Around.”

Stefen Thelen, better known by his anti-superhero alias, Super A, is a Dutch artist that specializes in murals and studio paintings. His works frequently blur the line between fiction and non-fiction, a common theme seen within his pieces and murals. This exhibition, The Other Way Around, is part of a larger body of work called Trapped — an investigation meant to unmask the truth surrounding fantasy. An example of this can be seen in his piece, The Fifth Month, where he paints the main characters from My Neighbor Totoro. At first glance, the viewer immediately recognizes the iconic characters but upon further inspection, the illusion dissipates, revealing a hyperrealistic translation of these figures.

Xomatok.

Astonishingly gorgeous mural work on staircases from Peruvian artist Xomatok across Lima, Peru.

The works are explorations in the alteration of space focusing on color and its relationship with humanity.
