I love when I see art that looks like the abstract landscapes of some dream that I’ve had. Art that can convey powerful emotion while remaining relatively minimal. In fact, it may be what I live for. A few examples of the work of English artist Phil Ashcroft.




“The unknown is a space at once fascinating and fearful by mankind’s technological advances and the romantic notion that there still lies undiscovered elements to the world in which we live. A derelict hospital, oil depots, nuclear power stations, the abominable snowman; collectively these semi-surreal settings and cartoon-like motifs appear as mysterious manifestations, phenomena both real and imagined.”
