Well, who doesn't like to play with pets, watch flocks of colorful fish running around in the aquarium, watch animals in the zoo and follow their behavior on TV shows like Animal Planet? I think there are very few people who do not like animals - and artists who would never draw fauna in their paintings. Canadian artist Jacub Gagnon - one of the many animalists, but the animals in his paintings behave somewhat strangely. And it is not for nothing that the exhibition of paintings, which includes these miniatures with four-legged, winged and waterfowl beauties, is called Elements and Oddities. Each animal here is a separate element, like a gear in a clock, and interacting with each other, they form such oddities that the artist depicts on canvas with acrylics in his original, somewhat dark and mysterious, creative manner.
A series of paintings with animals and various objects is called "String Theory". She takes us into a kind of bizarre, strange, and curious world, which was created by the artist based on the already mentioned theory that everything is interconnected. Animals interact with random objects, darkness - with light, and further down the list.
Looking at the paintings, it seems as if you are looking at the stage, watching some amazing performance from the audience. And animals are actors who crave applause, flowers and honors. Jakub Gagnon, whose website you can visit at this address, is also waiting for flowers and honors.
