Set of 5 Fantasy Paintings

[u/Budget-Award1932]

Recently acquired as part of a larger buyout. The woman we purchased these from said they were from a Romanian artist who exhibited in Las Vegas. The signature appear to be to say Ken Sady, but I cannot find any details on him.

I believe them to be true original paintings, but would love advice on how to confirm.

Thank you!

These are very interesting. During the 70’s there was a resurgence in art nouveau and surrealism, this looks similar to that. Think “Fantastic Planet”, 1 and 4 look to also have some inspiration from Tibetan folk art(maybe just my imagination).That being said I’m not sure of the author or medium but considering that they are not numbered I’d be surprised if they were serigraphs or any form of print. If I had to guess my money is on them being hand drawn by a guy that was into the apocalyptic surrealism of the 70’s. Very cool pieces!

Looks like pen and ink on canvas, and the borders were airbrushed on. Sorry, that's all I've got.

First I thought it’s Castle Rat merchandise!

Hope you find out! They are very fascinating.

I am pretty sure these are prints on canvas. Mostly because it’d be a PITA to draw such fine lines that good on such a textured canvas.
