Here are some truly exceptional oil paintings by JEREMY GEDDES. Based in Melbourne, he spends his time creating photo realistic paintings and he has also done covers for several issues of IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: The Next Generation .My favorite series feature a lost cosmonaut in urban settings. ENJOY:

” The cosmonaut paintings are a step away from my old method of painting, where every element was strictly controlled to enforce a particular narrative. I found that controlling the structure too tightly limited the stories that the viewer could bring to it. With these paintings I’m trying to leave the narrative ambiguous and open to interpretation, whilst juxtaposing enough disparate elements to make some sort of interpretation necessary. I’m keen to never give enough clues to block any potential explanation the viewer might bring. I want to spark questions, rather than answer them.”

+ the good news is that you can purchase signed and numbered prints via his website
