About
Painter, photographer, and sculptor who is best known as a fantasy artist. Beksiński executed his paintings and drawings either in what he called a ‘Baroque’ or a ‘Gothic’ manner. The first style is dominated by representation, with the best-known examples coming from his ‘fantastic realism’ period when he painted disturbing images of a surrealistic, nightmarish environment. The second style is more abstract, being dominated by form, and is typified by Beksiński’s later paintings. Beksiński was murdered in 2005.From Wikipedia
作品では、死、絶望、破損、廃退、廃墟、終焉などが描かれ、それは不気味さや残酷さと同時に荘厳な美しさを感じさせる。独特の世界観から多くの支持を得た画家である。作品自体は退廃的で「終焉の画家」と呼ばれる程だが、彼自身は人当たりが良く少し内向的で、人との会話をよく楽しんだとして知られている。 彼の作品には総てタイトルがついておらず、作品の理論付けや詮索を非常に嫌った。From Wikipedia
