I am just MELTING into this newly completed painting by @rossjaylo! The smooth, metallic-liquid texture of the bone is pure magic - contemporary surrealism at its best. Ross shares that this painting is the most challenging piece he has ever done to date - congratulations Ross, you achieved total success! (Swipe to see Ross himself working on this magnificent piece.) Title: "Empyreal" (oil on canvas, 36" x 48"). ... posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CQfVSIOIQJZ/

For the sixth year in a row, @beinartgallery is unveiling its annual exhibition of small artworks, featuring the art of more than 90 international artists! The opening reception for Small Works 2021 is happening Saturday, May 22nd, 6pm - 9pm, but for now, here's a tasty little sample of what's to come! Ross Jaylo's golden "Astral" doesn't just look cool. He purposefully depicts skulls like this - as well as individuals stripped of their skin (aka "Ecorche") - in an effort to portray souls that transcend all earthly labels. We don't know the color of their skin, what pronoun they identify with, or their political affiliation. None of that really matters, does it? It's what lies underneath the surface that is the true measure of a person. 🎨ARTWORK DETAILS🎨 Title: "Astral" Artist: @rossjaylo Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 12 in by 12 in Date: 2021 View ALL of Beinart's Small Works - including Ross Jaylo's gilded "Astral" - right here: https://ift.tt/3bID9ow posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CPKJYmRrFXD/

"Understanding The Gravity Of Every Second"depicts Jon Jaylo's (@jonenigmajaylo) son, @rossjaylo - who is also a painter! - contemplating if he's squeezing the most out of the time that he has. It was inspired by an ongoing dialog that they had about how all of us live on borrowed time. Jon repeatedly stressed how important it is to make the most of the precious moments that we have. "Although my advice may seem somewhat negative," Jon says, "it actually inspired Ross to appreciate life more on a daily basis." He knew that their discussions truly made an impact when Ross asked why some people complained about being bored when there is so much to do in a day. 🎨ARTWORK DETAILS🎨 Title: "Understanding The Gravity Of Every Second" Artist: Jon Jaylo (@jonenigmajaylo) Muse: @rossjaylo Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 38 in x 36 in Year: 2015 Artist's Website: https://ift.tt/22lvcXU ••• posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CQoxkIZL19q/
