Flowers Blossom from Wild Animals #ArtTuesday

via COLOSSAL

In something like art from the mysterious Area X or The Shimmer in the book and movie of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, these acrylic paintings by Nunzio Paci mix flora and fauna in astonishing, beautiful ways.

Bologna-based Italian artist Nunzio Paci (previously) fills his artwork with images that evoke aspects of human knowledge dating back centuries, such as anatomy, botany, and natural medicine. In his works animals are illustrated with lush plants and flowers, elements which seem to grow and thrive straight from their core. Although a touch morbid, the pieces also have a sense of lightness—there is beauty that can be found in rebirth. This fall Paci will be Artist-in-Residence at Lingnan University in Hong Kong where he will teach a Studio Practice course and work on his own projects to prepare for a solo exhibition. You can see more of his anatomical illustrations and paintings on Instagram and Facebook.
