Andy Kehoe
"For me, the grandeur of nature is truly what inspires a large and profound sense of wonder in me. I’ve personally witnessed a lot of wonders that have made a lasting impression on me: The Redwoods, exploring Yellowstone, and the Grand Teton national parks. I’m also awed by landscape and nature photography and, of course, photographs and images of deep space. There is a great power in the stark reminder of being very small in a large, vast world. I wanted my world to capture some of that sense of scale, so I began featuring the world itself as the main character. Although, I do still love painting the characters and creatures that inhabit these lands, so I make a conscious effort to mix in more character-based paintings with the more grand nature paintings."

In art, creatives often either capture the beauty of their surroundings or render worlds of their own invention. Artist Andy Kehoe is one artist who brilliantly merges the two. He continues to depict alluring fantastical environments occupied by “human-animal hybrids and spirit creatures.” Each of his digital paintings offers a glimpse into a vivid setting complete with intriguing characters and narratives.
Kehoe is greatly inspired by art from Romanticism-the 19th-century art movement that emphasized emotion and drama. He tries to create a similarly magical atmosphere in his landscapes. “With a focus on imagination and emotional response as the source of aesthetic experience, my fantastical imagery evokes a sense of wonderment by emphasizing the mystery and grandeur of nature and the cosmos,” Kehoe tells My Modern Met.
While the artist's body of work is united by a theme of supernatural lore, each individual piece contains its own unique storyline. As the viewer admires the details of Kehoe's complex depictions, they can unpack an array of fascinating details that contribute to the mystique of Kehoe's paintings.

I hope this channel never goes away. With all this talk of AI generated art... it's nice to take a deep breath and celebrate human creativity. These art videos are like an island oasis for me.

Yeah, the mere fact that a human made an art gives it a unique vibe that would never have an AI's production.

Reading comments like yours really makes me happy. Thank you!
This art stopped me in my tracks. Mysterious, primordial, past, present and distant future, the otherworldliness and loneliness are profound. Calling back to my roots and deep into our psyche. Recalling shamanism and Shinto, distant planets and alien faces, back to Earth and the interconnection of it all. What a wonderous journey.
such gorgeous art ;~;. you always have such an incredible choice of both artists and music. you've continued to be one of my favorite channels on youtube, for so many years. it feels like a decade since I first discovered you! you've always occupied that special place of occasionally finding one of your videos and just getting lost. this channel is like a sanctuary for drifting away :).

Thank you for watching! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the videos I made throughout the years. Thank you for taking the time and writing. I really appreciate that!
This art seems to be made for film. It's better than a movie. He really sees the spirirts of the forest. I know because I see them too. Powerful work! Thank you!
Such a beautiful reverence for nature... Colours shading the great mystery like a veil. I love it also when artists have a recurring type of character among paintings, like the human-animal hybrids here. It is interesting to see the variations. I became captivated right off the first painting. Thanks for uploading:)

I finally gave myself a week off, and I'm spending some of it watching the videos on your channel. As one commentor said here, I hope your channel never goes away. It's such a joy to indulge in. I'm going to finally get into some digital art on my tablet, and I'm hoping to do some oil pastles this week too. Your channel will definetly inspire me in that :)

So many good artist prompts for Midjourney
Oddly comforting dreams from humanity’s childhood. And the music’s perfect - Eno meets Mahavishnu.
These are so charming and mysterious and Alio Die's music is the perfect compliment for them! Cheers : )
