Andy Kehoe is an artist who creates fantastical digital paintings that drag in the viewer. The worlds he creates are filled with “human-animal hybrids and spirit creatures,” as he calls them. The artist describes himself in a whimsical way on Instagram, saying that he was “raised by Galapagos iguanas, once a forest demon betrayed by villagers, former horse brigand, shamed stuntman. Now an artist trying to recall it all.”
Kehoe finds inspiration in Romanticism, the art movement from the 19th century that relied on emotion and drama a lot. His works create a similar vibe. “With a focus on imagination and emotional response as the source of aesthetic experience, my fantastical imagery evokes a sense of wonderment by emphasizing the mystery and grandeur of nature and the cosmos,” the artist tells My Modern Met.
Kehoe’s paintings are full of interesting details. Each of them tells a unique story and they all share the mutual theme of supernatural lore. The artist makes one painting per month for his Patreon. He sells prints and original art in an online store, and you can buy his gorgeous prints for around $80.
