Jeremy Mann is an artist from San Francisco, one of the most interesting and emerging figures in the contemporary realist painting panorama.

His style suggests a contemporary and urban impressionism, like a new Monet that instead of water lilies and reflections on the water is hit by the night lights of a skyscraper seen from the window of his car.

Jeremy’s Cityscapes are blurred and sharp, their colors are dazzling and dark. These are interwoven with a romantic realism, by a melancholic nocturnal animal, which is swallowed up by the city, its smoky atmosphere and the flashing lights.

In his paintings you expect the wiper to pass any minute now, or that a drop will start to flow along the canvas. Each of his works is a mix of mystery and abrasive charm, capable of portraying the sublime light of iconic cities such as New York and San Francisco.

Here is our selection of his works, then take a tour of his site to discover all the projects.

Walking in some neighborhoods of New York, coming into contact with the natural world can be very hard and it doesn’t seem to get better in the future.

Thinking about the last one and imagining sometimes a not quite happy ending, the Estonian artist, Pejac, has realized two works in New York, Inner Power and Fossil, precisely in Chinatown and Bushwick.

A painted branch of a cherry tree seems to be able to penetrate the curtain of a Chinatown’s place, growing out of it and showing its wonderful flowers in the company of some birds, while the appearance of a tree, realized with a spray can, imagines a not so happy fate.

The two works, even they have a similar theme, represent two kinds of future: one where nature can impose itself on the human dominance of concrete and bricks and one where only a memory seems to survive to the time.

It’s quite easy to say that we route for the first one.

Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot is the new film directed by the famous independent film-maker Gus Van Sant. The movie plot is about the life of the famous illustrator John Callahan.

Joaquin Phoenix will personify the protagonist and will be supported indeed by a great cast composed by Jonah Hill ( the wolf of Wall Street, Suxbad), Roney Mara (who recently sided with  Phoenix in Maria Maddalena), Jack Black (School of Rock, Tropic Thunder) and many others. Both the directors and actors’ ability capable to narrate the strong story with the avoidance of pietism.

The film was presented at Sundance festival and it will be available the 10 of May here in Italy.
