What makes James Gurney’s anachronistic, futuristic fish-buttercopter work as an image… or should I say “fly”? The playful nature of “Decollage nocturne” and ease with which past and future, fantasy and reality are combined belies the volumes of knowledge Gurney harnesses to bring his wildly creative imagination to the page. But unlike many artists, Gurney is not reluctant to share his hard-earned knowledge. His blog, Gurney Journey, gives daily observations on light, form, coloration and more. So instead of marveling at just how exactly he tricks our eyes into believing every inch of his imagined worlds, we are left wondering how he has time to share all his insights and continue to expand his body of work!
