European artists, as a rule, gravitate towards naturalism, realism of canvases, while oriental ones, on the contrary, do not try to achieve the photographic quality of what is depicted on canvas. Australian artist Matthew Weatherstone does both: his works look like pictures from children's books or cartoons, but at the same time they seem so real that you want to climb inside to see with your own eyes what is hiding there, inside? An outside observer (The Disconnect) is the name of a series of amazing paintings by this author, which he paints with oil and charcoal on paper, ceramics, plaster. The soft, delicate colors characteristic of his works (of course, not if the work is done with charcoal) elegantly illustrate the artist's favorite theme, where a person is only an observer, attentively observing what is happening in his natural environment.
The Sydney artist emphasizes the emotion and tenderness of nature in contrast to industrial buildings and processes. However, many of Matthew Weatherstone's works are devoted precisely to beautiful, calm and soft landscapes. According to the style of The Disconnect series, all these landscapes, both urban and suburban, are somewhere out there, as if in a parallel world. And a person can admire their beauty only out of the corner of his eye. But I really want to get there, inside!
You can see these and other works by Matthew Weatherstone on his website.
