Cactus No.69, 2011, Oil on canvas, 162.1×130.3cm, courtesy Johyun Gallery.
With deftly applied strokes of paint scarely wider than a hair, Korean painter Kwang-Ho Lee creates towering renderings of cacti that bristle with thorns and tangled branches. The colorful oil paintings can reach up to 8 feet tall, an imposing scale with ample room for tediously composed details that push each work into the realm of hyperrealism. You can explore more of Lee’s work at Artsy and Atelier Aki. (via Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Beautiful/Decay)
