Slawec Gruka - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

knivesout · 14th March 2005, 10:44 AM

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

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 have a friend who's style is somewhat similar to this. Thanks for the link.

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

Also reminds me a bit of Jonny Wedge.
