Matisse meets Megaton in James Barnett’s ‘Fauxvism’ landscapes
I get a kind of perverse thrill out of using old, old art styles to depict these very modern things. The Fauves came after the Impressionists and just went bonkers with slabs of paint and these crazy colors and cartoony outlines; as videogames get closer and closer to reality, I thought it’d be fun to jump back and paint them like that.
