A little over a week ago, artist Jeremy Geddes released a new hyper-realistic oil paining that's "the first of a very loosely connected series." Called A Perfect Vacuum, this piece is definitely a departure from his floating spacemen series but it has that same surreal feeling that runs throughout his work. Check it out in more detail below.…
