The juxtaposition between the hard, sharp edges of the modern world and the textural elegance of the natural world comes to life in Will Eskridge’s brightly colored, soulful oil paintings. This is no accidental pairing; “In my work, the dichotomy between nature and technology complement each other” Will states, “There are secrets to the animals that we, as humans, cannot comprehend.” Those wild secrets are what Eskridge has been able to perfectly portray through his subject’s eyes. When confronted with something as confusing as human society, what must they think? “No one knows exactly what the animal is experiencing, except for the animal,” Will explains. Can nature and man co-exist? Time will tell, but for now, in Eskridge’s works, they pair beautifully. Will holds a B.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute, and is a full-time working artist based in Athens, GA with his wife, son and their many dogs and cats. Along with art, Will also makes music, works in animal rescue and has an ongoing restoration of his beloved 1953 Buick. Finished puzzle measures 19.3" x 26.6".
