Polish Guy Paints his Nightmares

[Masato]

Hey all

I'm not usually a fan of dark or disturbing imagery, but this guy's work is really fantastic.

His name is Zdzisław Beksiński.

"I wish to paint in such a manner as if I were photographing dreams.”

I think he succeeded. Amazing work, enjoy:

I do however wonder who would actually buy his paintings to decorate a space.. (?) fantastic in a gallery but what other function could they serve?

Saw some of his original work at the Minnesota Institute of the Arts. It was at the Guillermo Del Toro exhibit.

^ hey SRBrant, always happy to see you round these parts

That's cool you go to Art Galleries, lots of people don't. How big are these in real life? Are they huge?

I learned my lesson a few years ago that paintings are totally different in real life. I never went to Art Galleries much but I have a friend who's crazy for that stuff and drags me out sometimes. Paintings I THOUGHT I'd seen 1000x before in books and Art School etc, but you really ain't seen it till you've actually seen it.

Creepy as fuck.

This one was my favourite for some reason
