The Nude in the 21st Century |
---|
Sebastian Hyde My subject matter is the human body, the landscape, animal skulls and the relationships between figures in space. My main focus is painting the figure, exploring and reveling in the exciting and subtle details of musculature and skin tone. All of my paintings with human subjects are done from the live model, with some elements added later, be they backgrounds or skulls. My figures with skulls reside in a posited reality outside of human senses, a metaphysical space - an environment of spirit and being. The skulls add a provocative and fascinating element to the paintings that creates a symbolic juxtaposition that captures a unique beauty and mystery and enhances the viewer's journey to these otherworldly environments. | |
