Art Matt Furie: Nature Freak

  • Naturefreak2_large

Matt Furie lets his freak flag fly in this collection of meticulous colored-pencil and ink drawings, evoking Marcel Dzama by way of Troma Entertainment's schlocky horror flicks. His frames contain a Boschian assortment of brightly colored, humanoid forms — composed of exposed musculature, vines, veins, animal parts, pop-culture quotations, and oozing fluids — that separate themselves into pairs. The characters hold hands or, more often, engage in acts of weird sexual congress. But not all of Furie's creatures are busy illustrating Swamp Thing's Kama Sutra. There's a bevy of beastly BMX riders, as well — which only adds to the odd interplay of kid and adult influences in Furie's art.
