Slawec Gruka

Slawec Gruka is a Polish artist whose work is dark and cynical, with a strong sense of design and balance. His pen sketches are particularly dark - the oil pastel work is certainly lighter, not least because of the use of colour. His site is a bit tricky to navigate, but I'm certain that it will be worth the effort for some of you: http://www.slawekgruca.com/index.htm

Thumbs up Re: Slawec Gruka

I LOVE this stuff. Definitely my style. It's nice to see someone with an eccentric imagination that's still using oils---this sort of surreal stuff is seen mostly with the digital artists lately, it seems.

I'll see if I can get his permission to post anything.
