I’ve been a fan of Nathan Ota for quite sometime, but only recently did I finally see some of his work in person at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.

Ota creates wonderful creatures and environments; amalgams of nature, technology and pop culture.

His landscapes have a great sense of light (at the gallery, the above painting seemed to actually glow).

Check out the gallery for some of the most enjoyable birds and trees in the world of pop surrealism.
