Sydneysider Teo Treloar artworks display an honesty that makes them at once beautiful and terrifying. His subject matter includes portraits of face-less men whose identities are concealed either by fume like smudge marks or hidden behind objects. It begs the question, is a portrait without a face, still a portrait? And more importantly what does it all mean? Critics believe Treloar is commenting on everyman, the eeriness stems from everyone seeing him or herself in it. His works explore universal pressure in modern society. Using pen, ink and watercolour on paper as his preferred medium, his styles draws similarities with the absurd and surrealism.
