We loved these striking portraits of North American animals by George Boorujy so much, that today we bring you a look at his most recent drawings. The New York based artist went viral this time last year for his incredible hyper-realistic depictions of mammals, birds, and seldom human figures in powerful images that seem to stare into your soul. Even in those images where we seem to catch his subjects unaware in their most primal moments, there is something about them that captivates their viewer. 

Rare examples of John Singer Sargent’s printmaking are on temporary view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrating his interest in the expressive shapes of the human body and lithography’s potential to show these figures in darkness and light. The lithographs were donated by his sister Violet Ormond in 1950, but like the other works in the museum’s rotating Drawings and Prints: Selections from the Permanent Collection exhibition in the Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. Gallery, they are not on permanent view due to their light sensitivity.

Matthew Tischler - Screen Series

Screen Series is a series of photographs shot through window screens, netting and scrims, Matthew employs these grids and barriers in order to dissect, pixelate, filter and flatten landscapes and space. “None of the subjects in my photographs have any discernible features“ Matthew says, ”rather they are faceless characters whose identities are defined by their surroundings.”
