I’ve been a fan of Isabel Samaras for quite sometime, and recently decided to explore her site again. She has some wonderful paintings in her “recent work” section, including a series of classic monsters, re-contextualized as religious figures.

The ultimate blend of highbrow and lowbrow…

And I’m really digging her series of hand paintings. Even disembodied hands are expressive subjects.

See her blend of pop culture, classical painting, religion, vintage icons, fairy tales (and more) on her site.
