It reminds me of the book's drawings from when I was a child. Mind you, that I was not the most normal child.

I wouldn't go with the description beautiful, but "rapturously horrifying" does come to mind.
It's frightening and yet curiously alluring, not unlike a darkened alleyway, or an abandoned building.

hmm "rapturously horrifying" is quite an interesting way of describing something!
It reminds me of nightmares...
thanks!

i like the less traditonal composistion,though your whole gallery was fun to look at. you should check out the research comparing creativity and mood disorders.... do we want to be happy and uncreative or be passionate and tortured.(paraphrased)...only a generalization ofcourse there are always exceptions

i really love this, you certainly suceeded in creating something deformed it is truly that!! i really like the colours, the uber brightness of them compliments the 'dark' nature of the picture in a sort of contradictory way... which is cool... i love that skul especially but the whole thing is uber special.. would love something like this for my wall x

I love the way you always use such hyper real colours in your work of the macabre nature.... it makes it really stnd out rather than just basic run-off-the-mill dark art!!

Amazing how something so stunning can come from misery. This pic is beautiful in spite of (or perhaps because of) the disturbing imagery. I must fave this.
Is it just me, or are the starved infant and the female figure like a decrepid Madonna/Holy Child duo? That would add a lot to the meaning of the painting, if that's the case. The halo-like design around the infant's head makes me think of that.

Makes me think of German Expressionism. I love the deformed and grotesque appearance of each figure. The colours are like the refelction of neon lights, or perhaps Absinthe and blood. Lovely work! I really like this one.

thats an interesting descrition, neon lights or absinthe and blood... sounds very poetic.
i never finished my art history class, so ill have to go look for info on German expressionism, but i think i know what you mean.
thank you, i happy you like it, i almost didnt scan it since it was full of my angryness.

orcqueen In reply to Pokoa [2004-11-07 17:46:01 +0000 UTC]
There is a bit of info online. Also, movies like Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari were part of ther German Expressionist movement. They made things looks gortesque, beauty was not the goal.
I'm glad you did scan it...even if it is an angry painting.
