Zdzislaw Beksinski

Zdzislaw Beksinski (1929-2005) was a self trained Polish painter. His works are surreal, apocalyptic, yet are serene. I am really inspired by his combination of organic shapes and textures and architecture. A self proclaimed "Gothic" painter, his work compares to Friedrich in the awesomeness and loneliness of nature.His color palette is autumnal, jewel like, and gorgeous.

One gem : "I agree/disagree with some of the things that have just been said, but the mechanical mark-making of the purity of line contextualize the remarkable handling of light." 100% art school.
