Andy Kehoe
"For me, the grandeur of nature is truly what inspires a large and profound sense of wonder in me. I’ve personally witnessed a lot of wonders that have made a lasting impression on me: The Redwoods, exploring Yellowstone, and the Grand Teton national parks. I’m also awed by landscape and nature photography and, of course, photographs and images of deep space. There is a great power in the stark reminder of being very small in a large, vast world. I wanted my world to capture some of that sense of scale, so I began featuring the world itself as the main character. Although, I do still love painting the characters and creatures that inhabit these lands, so I make a conscious effort to mix in more character-based paintings with the more grand nature paintings." [from:https://wowxwow.com/artist-interview/...] In art, creatives often either capture the beauty of their surroundings or render worlds of their own invention. Artist Andy Kehoe is one artist who brilliantly merges the two. He continues to depict alluring fantastical environments occupied by “human-animal hybrids and spirit creatures.” Each of his digital paintings offers a glimpse into a vivid setting complete with intriguing characters and narratives. Kehoe is greatly inspired by art from Romanticism—the 19th-century art movement that emphasized emotion and drama. He tries to create a similarly magical atmosphere in his landscapes. “With a focus on imagination and emotional response as the source of aesthetic experience, my fantastical imagery evokes a sense of wonderment by emphasizing the mystery and grandeur of nature and the cosmos,” Kehoe tells My Modern Met. While the artist's body of work is united by a theme of supernatural lore, each individual piece contains its own unique storyline. As the viewer admires the details of Kehoe's complex depictions, they can unpack an array of fascinating details that contribute to the mystique of Kehoe's paintings.

"On demande pourquoi le même homme qui aura vu d'un oeil sec les événements les plus atroces, qui même aura commis des crimes de sang-froid, pleurera, au théâtre, à la représentation de ces événements et de ces crimes"
On compare parfois la cruauté de l’homme à celle des fauves, c’est faire injure à ces derniers.

"La vérité est ce qui brûle. La vérité est moins dans la parole que dans les yeux, les mains et le silence. La vérité, ce sont des yeux qui brûlent en silence."
"L'oeil appartient à l'âme plus qu'aucun autre organe ; il semble y toucher et participer à tous ses mouvements, il en exprime les passions les plus vives et les émotions les plus tumultueuses comme les mouvements les plus doux et les sentiments les plus délicats" -
Appeler les femmes « le sexe faible » est une diffamation; c'est l'injustice de l'homme envers la femme. Si la non-violence est la loi de l'humanité, l'avenir appartient aux femmes.
