Using transparent elements, Jeremy Olson paints surreal still lifes that experiment with texture to create optical illusions from their various components. Olson’s choices for transparent materials sometimes yield unexpected results — jello and even thinly sliced ham juxtaposed with photographs within the paintings create a tension between the visceral and the polished. Eyeballs can be spotted in some of the works, perhaps a gesture towards the act of observation. Check out some of Olson’s work after the jump.

In Sergio Lopez’s work, figures blend with the environment. The artist dissolves physical boundaries between his characters’s skin and luxurious, floral-patterned blankets and tapestries — the playthings of Lopez’s coy muses. The duvets become stand-ins for nature as the female figures appear to be in the grips of rapture, seemingly in love with their own bodies and with the flowers.
