Weave: surreal paintings of monochromatic hyper-realistic figures by Ben Howe

In his series Weave, contemporary Australian artist Ben Howe explores existentialist questions to create disturbingly surreal oil on board paintings.

These paintings bring together themes of mortality, isolation, longing, melancholy and loss. They draw from gothic motifs, fairy tales, literature and archaic tropes to explore broader issues relating to the physical and subjective self within contemporary society.
