Magical Paintings Of Amalgamation Of Animals And Plants Are Sure To Woo You
Jon Ching’s paintings turn familiar plants and animals into something stranger, brighter, and a little magical. The Los Angeles artist blends flora and fauna into vivid hybrid creatures that feel both natural and dreamlike.
His series, called FLauna, pulls from the colors, patterns, and forms of the living world to create new species on canvas. The result is a collection that feels playful at first glance, then keeps revealing more the longer you look.
From birds wrapped in blossoms to creatures that seem to grow straight out of the earth, these works are full of surprises. Read on.
