Nicola Samori (b. 1977). Italian.

Neo-Baroque??

Nicola Samori is fucking incredible. He works out of Italy, and he’s managed to nail the style of the Old Masters: his exhibitions contain everything from beautiful Baroque saints to Flemish still lifes — all painted now, in the modern era, in his studio. And that would be amazing in and of itself, but his work is so much more than simple reproduction. See, once he’s finished with a painting, or once he’s adapted one that’s been previously created, he takes a scalpel to it, a spatula, or a square of sandpaper, and begins to peel it apart. He flays painted skin right off his subjects’ bones.

Sometimes the “destruction” of the images asks the audience to think about what, exactly, the painting communicates when it’s whole. Other times it adds a strange level of corporeality to religious works, or gives portraits a darkly spiritual dimention they never had before.

He’s said in interviews that he views the layers of paint on the canvas as analogous to the muscle and tissue of the human body, and that by wearing it away, he changes the identity of the paintings themselves.

Dark and sometimes chilling as it is, I think his work is genuinely brilliant, and he’s one of my favorite living artists.

(Long story short, here’s his website, go check it out!)

reblogging these again because yes

Oh wow.

Buy it here: Gifted, vol. 01

Okay, everyone. So, I need to get a new car, which means it’s time to try to sell some stuff! Some of you may know, some of you may not: I have a creator-owned book called “Gifted.” It’s for sale on Gumroad.com for the price of pay-whatever-you-want. It’d mean a lot if you guys would at least give it a look-see.

Also, if you like what you see/read? Share it around!

Thanks!

For as long as I’ve been making Boxer Hockey, people have been begging me to make stuffed frogs. Well that stuff’s expensive, maaaan. Luckily, TopatoCo has stepped in and offered to handle the production, stocking, and shipping of a thousand of the little buggers, but we gotta pay for ‘em first!
Click the link above to check out the Kickstarter featuring a fun video put together by me and narrated by Arin Hanson of Egoraptor fame.
