Collage and painting by Canadian artist Scott Treleaven who says of his work “occult language and symbology often remains the most accurate way of describing and dignifying the human condition.”

This one’s a keeper. I recently discovered a site with innumerable artists, some of whom are quite similar to Mr. Treleaven. – http://monsterbrains.blogspot.com/ Hope it surprises you, though you’ve probably already seen it.
Scott Treleavan’s work makes a change since I’ve not seen any other homoerotic art that’s informed by a contemporary occult sensibility like this; usually all you get is a kind of fuzzy mysticism.
And I do indeed know Monster Brains since they linked to my post about Jean-Marie Poumeyrol a couple of years ago. Some fascinating work they turn up there.
