My latest inspiration.,
By
This review is from: The Fantastic Art Of Beksinski (Hardcover)
I'm not about to start making comparisons to other artists of similar subject matter (like H.R. Giger, whose work was one of my first inspirations), but since seeing my first Bekinski painting literally yesterday, I have been enthralled by his unparalleled mastery of the dark. You get a few glimpses of world War II in his works - just enough to perhaps guess as to what served as his inspiration - but his work goes much, much further than simply portraying the horrors of war. From trees of desiccated limbs, covered in age-old spiderwebs, to similarly skeletal monolithic constructions, foreboding in their mysterious ultra-human purpose, there is a merging of dead life and non-living objects, so that often one hardly knows if one is looking at a rock that has been given the shape of a bone or a dried tree limb, or rather a bone that has degenerated to such an extent that it has come to resemble a piece of wind-blown slate.The artist himself has often reiterated that his paintings are not references, and that reading meaning into them is a waste of time; indeed, all of his works bear a single name - "Untitled." But to me, this means simply that there are all but infinite layers of meaning in Bekinski's crazed paintings - ones that invite the onlookers to define the art for themselves, and by doing so, lose themselves in the twilight of the infinite corridors of Zdzislaw Bekinski's imagination.

Beksinsky's wicked painting,
This review is from: The Fantastic Art Of Beksinski (Hardcover)
Pour les âmes perdues qui naviguent dans cette vie, voici un phare bien lugubre à la beauté pourtant si macabre.La mort sous les yeux de Beksinsky est un paradi pour les miens. La fragilité que je retrouve à l'intérieur de ces toiles est pourtant remplie de dureté physique.For all the lost souls, this is a dark lighout. Death in the eyes of Beksinsky is a paradi for my eyes. The fragility i find in hes painting is filled of so much physical pain.
