SJ Fuerst: Born Connecticut, D.O.B. unknown. Lives and works in Malta

The David

Oil on canvas

Fuerst’s hyper-real paintings are so uncannily life-like they will make you swear to God they just winked at you. Celebrating the unusual and bombastic, Fuerst’s paintings have a touch of fashion photographer Tim Walker’s fantastical choice of props about them. Mix in some Harajuku-level facial expressions and cuteness and you’ve got yourself a hallway knock-out. A graduate of the Academy in Florence and the London Atelier of Representational Art, Fuerst’s classical methods of painting jar pleasingly with her contemporary subjects. Fuerst’s painstaking works are becoming increasingly prominent in certain art collections - and the price reflects her stature as the real deal. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/gallery/best-artists-to-invest-in

Circe from Homer's Odyssey

Oil on canvas

SJ Fuerst’s work is beautiful and funny, and can be found in private collections all over the world. Drawing from fashion, pop art, and contemporary culture, Fuerst’s paintings create a surreal world where the animals are inflatable and the women feel so real you expect them to wink at you. SJ’s work often has a dark undercurrent, but it’s carefully entwined with a playful innocence and a fashion seriousness. What truly sets Fuerst’s paintings apart is the fusion of classical and pop sensitivities - the technique may be traditional but the subjects are fresh and contemporary.  https://sjfuerst.com/About
