Modern Art Madness Week, Day 1: Desolation on High, Beksinski’s “NEVERMORE”.

well lads and girls, tis’ the Christmas (CHRISTmas) season once more, and Its been quite a wild ride starting my own blogging platform. As my gift to you, I wish to compile a week’s work of MMAM, choosing some of my most favorite and interesting pieces of modern and contemporary art. The very start of what I hope can be a tradition on this blog, or well, till Trash world finally shuts us all down, and we are screaming into the tech 1.0 void like lost glints of dust in the digital starts….anyways, I want to start off with a piece that i have personally loved and admired for a very long time. From an artist that I cannot express in words the utter soul-filling love, inspiration, and deep devotion I feel inside myself, in the core of my being for. Zdzislaw Beksinski, that frail little kind polish man, that reclusive anxiety filled detail obsessive, is a giant among the outsider art world, an inspiration to all sorts of people, from visionary new-agers, to surrealist and horror fans, metal heads, every variety of freak and modern outcast, you name it. His nightmarish dream worlds are filled with wondrous horrors, landscapes of pure desolation, yet redemption and eerie serenity. Some of them teem with mounds of flesh, itching, crawling, screaming, gnashing centobites and creatures of horror, others are filled with an almost dead and post-apocalyptic quietness.
