Horse those ones by Piotr Dmochowski are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I've always liked Jeannie Lynn Paske's stuff, she did all of Eluvium's album art. Although my girlfriend complains to me that it's just kitch.....

love his stuff, his sense of humour is genius, such a refreshing change to most brooding, philosophically bloated modern art nowadays

I don't want to sound like a prick, guys, but it's actually Zdzisław Beksiński, probably one of the most known Polish artists (someone posted few of his works before as well). As a bit of a trivia, his son was working for the polish national radio and his specialty was all kinds of dark music from goth to new wave. He killed himself, and a few years later his dad, the painter was stabbed to death...

Now on topic, I like different kinds of stuff. I have a soft spot for Russian suprematism though, Maleviches infamous black square being one of my top favourites... Once I had a pleasure attending the exhibition holding all three below, in one room. I didn't go out that room for an hour (and now you know where does my avatar come from :))

I find it amazing how one can go from this:

To this:

More of other stuff to come!

Here I'm back to introduce another Polish artist, that some of you might like. His name was Witkacy, and he was a proper renaissance persona of the early 20th century - playwright, novelist, philosopher, photographer and painter (and damn good in all of these fields)

The most famous was his portrait studio, where he offered a range of options for the customers - from representational paintings, to the messed up images created with an assistance of various drugs (from coffee, through morphine to peyote) He would put a note on the painting with the name or chemical structure of the used substance.

Here we have sort of regular, art nouveau style pastel

Image

And then we've got these:

Image

Image

And finally, some of his 'regular' paintings:

Fairy tale - Fantasy
Image

Creation of the World
Image

Visiting Maharaja
Image

Hope you enjoy them!

Im no art aficionado or pretentious enough to claim to know anything about art that isn't kitsch, but fuck - this shit right here makes my eyes feel good:

I like this a lot.. Is it an old hermetic woodcut or made to look like one.. I think the latter, but it's good nonetheless.
