8 Unusual Creations From Jennifer Allnutt’s Eyes On Stones Project

Jennifer Allnutt is a contemporary figurative artist born in Brisbane, Australia. She has been working on a unique and eye-catching project where she paints realistic renderings of Eyes on Stones. The hyperrealistic drawings show skin, lashes and lids that unflinchingly stare out at the world. Allnutt uses rocks of all sizes to create her images, and her drawings are fit proportionately to the space available. More often than not, her depictions are incomplete fragments of a face, while on smaller rocks she has drawn incomplete eyes. In a little whimsical plot twist, the artist takes stones she finds in nature to use as her canvas and returns the illustrated rocks to their original positions in nature, as a surprise for passers-by. Her little swap quickly became an internet sensation and unwittingly sparked a community treasure hunt to find all her surreal creations. Allnutt was a finalist in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize (2024) and was the winner of the Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award in 2024. Her work has been exhibited around Australia, the US and New Zealand. More info: Instagram | JenniferAllnutt.Com
