So, I came across Joe Ryckebosch's work on Etsy last night...One of his pieces was on the front page. Anyway, I'm so glad I did.
This artist is creating his own language. It simultaneously keeps you out and brings you in. I find the landscapes, like the one on the bottom here, to be particularly successful. The supernatural (alien?) waves, lines, colors and shapes applied painstakingly over found collaged nature photos create a weird effect. This work practically has a sound...a static, a roar, a white noise.... I don't know how else to put it, but I can hear it.
Anyway, I'd snatch his work up now. Because it's clear he's been working for a while...and he's hitting a really great stride. Note that I've cropped some of the images above-- you can see the found frames which are part of each piece by clicking on the links below.

Enjoy your weekend, all, and thank you so much everyone who stopped by this week! xx s
