This piece is one of five paintings done via acrylic and gouache on paper mounted onto wooden panels. This collection gives off a fascinating narrative which can be recognized by the familiar shape of the characters through each piece aswell as his style. Although his pieces narrative is completely shown in a visual means, the title proves to be a strong and insightful buzz word that helps to give off a sense of what the illustration is about. it is a interesting approach and recognizable that there is a story to tell. This piece is called "Rapture" where the story seems to begin. I came across the artist Julian Callos from reading Hi fructose which is a contemporary arts magazine. It is currently my favorable magazine as it really gives me the information i need and keeps me enticed with plenty of art work created using so many medians and styles of upcoming individuals.

"The End"
'La fin du monde, the end of the world, takes shape in most cultures,
envisioned by prophets, passed down in myths, carefully packaged by
religion. It's a concept that is hard to escape as everything does end
eventually, and though foreboding as it may be, is also an idea that
captures the imagination. Los Angeles-based artist Julian Callos tackles the theme in his latest solo show, 'The End,' now on view at WWA Gallery
in Culver City. From the traditionally Biblical "Locust Harbringers"
and "Rapture" to the more realistic "Fallout," Callos' vision of the
future is simultaneously dark and depressing as it is colorful and
playful. The show is on view until October 8th, check it out before it's
too late.'-
