James Perez Unveils the First Painting in his Upcoming Relics Series: The Necromancer.

The Necromancer
with blue light detail.

I've already discussed James Perez's Seven Deadly Sins series at length thus far, however I have also seen sneak peek of the very first painting (in a planned series of 12) of James Perez' next series, entitled "Relics". Most of the details of the new series are remaining under wraps for now, but what I can tell you is this - each piece will feature the use of REAL human skulls and bones. Yes, you heard me. Real ones.

Even the best of cameras (and mine is not the best) can't capture the true impact of a piece of art properly, but the following images will give you at least an idea of how awesome this is. I should also note that this particular piece has a multi-colored track lighting illuminating the painting at all times in a fairly dark room, so it morphs into red, green, blue, natural, pink lighting, and so on, adding an even more interesting spin on the piece. The piece, entitled The Necromancer, is on display in the back room of Cueto James Gallery if you'd like to see it in person.
