About
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. 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.
