Somebody once told me. I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot. I'm not your friend, not your lover, or family. (Though we could be.) Random aesthetics of awesomeness. (At least I think so)
Toronto-based artist Richard Ahnert takes anthropomorphic painting to a new level, lacing it with a quiet, yet unmistakable animism - an abiding kinship between human and animal.
Richard graduated with honors from the Arts York Program at Unionville HS with a Major in Visual Arts and went on to study Technical Illustration and Graphic Design at York University and Seneca College, graduating with the Presidents Honor Roll for Highest Academic Achievement.

Neptune represents creativity, dreams, imagination, divine gifts., but ultimately spiritual transcendence. It is meant to take us out of the ego. And since we live in a very ego-centric society, it’s hard to understand things without our ego. “As a cognitive bias, egocentrism refers to the natural restriction on our perception caused by the simple fact that we can only see the world from our perspective.” We see the world surrounding ourself with ourself at the center. We are the sun to our surroundings. That is what creates our views and perspectives. How to better understand Neptune is to understand that Neptune doesn’t bother with the physical world. It is what’s happens when we realize our ego centric view points are not objective. There isn’t actually a physical base for it, trying to view a world through our own limited perception is actually the illusion. Neptune wants to show us that by transcending our limited perspective, we are bestowed with neptunian divine gifts. The relation of Neptune to fog is important because by limiting our physical vision it allows us to actually see. Thinking beyond the tangible.
