Best Friends 

"Best Friends" is a painting by contemporary artist Alex Gross, known for his photorealistic style. Gross often depicts everyday scenes with a surreal or unsettling twist, like the floating pink circles in this piece. Two young women walk hand-in-hand past a 7-Eleven, one holding a Big Gulp, the other an ice cream cone. The painting's realism is heightened by the inclusion of recognizable brands, adding to the sense of ordinary life disrupted by the strange elements. Gross' work often explores themes of consumerism, social interaction, and the uncanny.
