Joao Ruas brings his eye-catching ghost paintings to the Thinkspace project through his new show “Kill”. The show runs through January 4 in space, which collects both new mixed media and hook-like paintings, as well as artists’ paintings. The artist is on display on our website, last printed with Hi-Fructose Vol. twenty three.
“Ruas’ beautifully executed lines, love of detail, and quasi-Gothic aesthetic, recall the late 19th century golden age of illustration, and its prosperity for lush hand-drawn worlds. Fascinated by the enigmatic mystery of lore and symbols, and drawn to the use of recurring contrasts, Ruas punctuates his work with a system of evasive signs. His pieces Always tend to reveal the spectral traces of graphite in the final product, an option to reveal the existence of artists and the existence of cosmic ghosts.”
