someone posted this at watmm
apparently this guy was in a coma for 6 months, and while he was in a coma, he was convinced he was in hell
he then painted this pictures of what he saw, after he recovered.

Reason behind the painting aside, those are fucking incredible.

Beksinski is probably one of the best artists of all time. Inspiring stuff. You should try looking for a site with bigger pictures. There is AMAZING detail that is being missed with these smaller pics

I'm studying art at foundation, not that it makes me a connoisseur...
To me, bosch's work IS petty, that's exactly what makes it so nightmarish. They're a jumble of inexplicable violence, from mild to the ultra-graphic... jake and dinos chapman think like me, anyway; their scale-model works focus on the same vastly detailed, petty level of violence.
Oh, "in my opinion".

If it's at the saatchi then it's the retrospective of their past stuff (tragic anatomies, disasters of war etc). Maybe there's some new ones in there too though, i've not seen it cos london's too far to go really. Have fun mate, if "fun" is the right word to use.

yes, I'm sure you're using the wrong word there, look it up in the dictionary and agree with me. They're not actually just a jumble of violence but it's all the way it is for a reason, which in turn is one of the reasons why he is one of the world's great masters. By the way I really like the work of Beksinksi.

Petty: contemptibly narrow in outlook (dictonary.com). Perhaps you could give me a better adjective, but i do believe that bosch's work is revealing the "petty" nature of man's inhumanity (hence bestial imagery etc) and violence / lack of control. I'm not disputing that his work is fantastic though, don't interpret my comments as criticism. Personally i love bosch.
