Andy Kehoe’s series of oil and acrylic paintings on wood panel depict lonely folklore inspired characters in autumnal landscapes. Sometimes his artworks have a distrurbing undertone, but Kehoe always manages to create peaceful and serene natural scenes with a melancholy feel that speak of the mysteries of the unknown.

See below for some choice pieces by Portland-based artist Andy Kehoe.

    Agreed! Kehoe himself sais:

    “I get that reference a lot! Honestly, I never really got into that book too much as a kid. I was more into Conan, Spiderman, Fantasy, Sci-Fi and anime movies.

    I mainly started drawing beasts and creatures because I got bored of drawing people. Two eyes, one nose, one mouth… some people can find endless ways to make this interesting, but I couldn’t. With creatures, anything is possible and that was what I was looking for. I am definitely grateful that people reference me to such a beautiful classic. Especially one that so many people have kept so dearly in their hearts… and I’m definitely excited to see the movie coming out!”

    I agree with the Wild Things similarity, but I was also feeling a Hayao Miyazaki similarity.

    I am an artist as well, so I don’t like when people just say “looks like…. or sounds like….” I think this art is very imaginative. It brings me back to my childhood and also inspires me to want to draw. Incredible art!
