The drawings of the famous American artist Josh Keyes very much remind us of illustrations from a school textbook on geography, or some popular science magazine, which depicts the structure of the earth, various landscapes, fauna and flora.
Josh Keyes' paintings offer a satirical look at how urbanization and technological change affect the environment. In his works, the artist makes an assumption about what might happen if we continue our invasion of the natural world.
Artist and sculptor Josh Keyes was born in Tacoma, Washington. He grew up surrounded by forests and witnessed their gradual destruction. The young American graduated from the Art Institute in Chicago and received a master's degree in fine arts from Yale University. The master's works were published in the art magazine New American Painters and exhibited in galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York.
The drawings, which Josh Keyes himself calls research, represent a huge field where he experiments with different ideas and forms, creating psychologically rich scenes of the interaction of people and animals, nature and civilization.
