An ode to the serene beauty of the Scottish wilderness, this exquisite print captures the enchanting Roseroot herb poised against the natural majesty of Ben More, Isle of Mull. Stylized in the distinctive sinuous curves and elegant motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau, the piece interweaves flora and landscape to create a symphony of colour and form. Foregrounded are delicate clusters of Roseroot, their soft pink blooms gracefully arching towards the sun, set against a verdant backdrop of layered foliage and vivid orange flowers reminiscent of a painter's wild garden. These botanical elements, vibrant yet soothing, seem to pulse with life against the geometric solidity of the cliffs. The rocky terrain is rendered in a mosaic of cool blues and greys, creating a striking contrast to the warm, lush flora. Harmonious and organic, the partitioned rocks take on an almost tessellated quality, a testament to the union of natural form and artistic interpretation. Receeding into the distance, the tranquil blues of the sky and waterscape meet, their subtle gradations and gentle undulations suggesting both the calm and the power of the sea. This dichotomy is mirrored in the softness of the distant hills, shaded in misty blues and purples that invoke the vast and mysterious Scottish landscape. This print offers a journey for the eyes, inviting the viewer to explore each element and appreciate the serene beauty of Scotland's unique flora and formidable cliffs. An art piece that not only serves as a decorative addition to any space but also a reminder of the timeless allure found within nature's own gallery.

Wrapped within the piecey curls surrounding Miho Hirano’s subjects are twigs, vine fragments, and clusters of pink blossoms. Using a cool color palette tinged with blues, the Japanese artist (previously) paints ethereal, introspective portraits of women enveloped in movement whether through small fish swimming around their torsos or branches growing from under their hair. Hirano tells Colossal that she tends to center her oil-based works around finding harmony and the inevitability of change, particularly in relation to life’s fragile nature. More

Fusing charming portraits of wildlife with the severe trappings of historical costume, Bill Mayer (previously) creates darkly fantastical worlds in his detailed gouache paintings. A frog poses in royal dress, a pearl-draped mouse looks ready for a ball amongst massive wedges of cheese, and a rhinoceros stands ready to defend his territory in a suit of armor. The accomplished illustrator lives in Decatur, Georgia and has had a long career as a commercial artist. More

These exquisite vintage-style illustrations are a tribute to classic natural history art and present a range of birds in their natural habitat, surrounded by flora that shares their habitat. This collection, inspired by the works of famous naturalists, captures the elegance and diversity of the bird world, presenting each species with a high level of detail and aesthetic grace. Each image showcases the delicate balance between science and art and is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, from the subtle nuances of color to the distinctive features of each bird species. The botanical elements are not only accurately illustrated, but also complement the depiction of the birds by highlighting the beauty and complexity of nature. The collection is perfect for nature enthusiasts, ornithologists and art lovers who share a passion for the natural world and its representation in art. It is ideal for sophisticated interior design, be it in a private living space, in offices or in educational institutions. Each image is a work of art in its own right, but offers an even stronger visual impact in a group presentation. These timeless works of art serve not only as decorative elements, but also as educational resources that inspire interest and admiration for biological diversity. With each illustration, you are investing in a piece of history and culture that tells a story of scientific discovery and artistic expression. Rose-breasted Cockatoo (Cacatua Eos).jpg

Adrian Cox’s oil paintings capture scenes with his fictional Border Creatures, dwellers of the so-called “Borderlands” and hybrid creatures that blend the flora, fauna, and minerals of their environment. In two new shows, one at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco and the other at Australia’s beinArt Gallery, Cox tells new narratives within this context. Both shows run through most of June. You may remember Cox from this 2015 HiFructose.com piece on the artist.
