Derek Stenning creates great Sci-Fi illustrations for the likes of Endeavor Snowboards but with a really unusual angle. The artworks have evolved around research into ‘Entartete Kunst’ (Degenerate Art), a term adopted by the Nazi regime in Germany to describe virtually all modern art.

“I find these discriminating ideas absurd, but I have adopted the Judeo-Bolshevist theme in this work (the cosmonauts, the hexagram etc.) as a starting point to create these images. As mentioned in a previous post this project is about returning to a more expressive way of creating art (after 10 years as a production artist), and about overcoming my own discriminating views on expressive art.”

Brilliantly eerie oil paintings by Austrailian artist Jeremy Geddes. The Cosmonaut series features suspended and drifting cosmonauts in urban and abstract environments.
