I’m not sure if the above photo is an artistic installation, but it looks like one, so I’ve included it as my window display. I’ve got a thing for crocodiles (or is that an alligator?) … and the derriere and long legs of the female kind. But I digress …

There’s a bit more colour in this selection of art, a bit more vibrancy in the macabre. But that’s all I’m going to say. I’m not an art critic; I just compile the “exhibition” and let my readers have an oogle. That’s the best way to present art, let it speak for itself.

THE ART LAIR - VI

May 1st 2008 23:14

Are your bad dreams a little on the bland and tedious side? Do you need a little inspiration for your nightmare melting pot? Imagery that’s truly surreal, grotesque, outlandish and seductively horrendous? You’ve come to the right place … The Horrorphile’s Art Lair, a scarily fine selection of paintings, sketches, and illustrations from international artists.

If only the modern horror movie was as richly textured, boldly formed, and palpably fearsome as the art work on display here in The Art Lair, I’d be a happy little chappy!

A picture may paint a thousand words … But a piece of horror art cuts through flesh and bone and etches deep into the marrow an obituary of dark and bloodied brilliance. Check these dark and delicious works by talented young artists from all over the world.

It’s my last post for the year. So I thought I’d end with the next exhibition of The Art Lair. These are dark and confronting illustrations from artists from all over the world. Linger and ogle.

And have a bloody good new year

THE ART LAIR - II

I love the way each person can interpret different things from a piece of artwork, more so than your average movie poster. As much as I love graphic design, a movie poster is, more often than not, designed to illicit an immediate and deliberate response from the viewer; basically the poster should be saying “You want to see this movie! Now!”

With a piece of artwork, whether it be an charcoal sketch, a water colour painting, an air-brushed illustration, or a metal sculpture, the intention of the artist is to create a reaction from the viewer; not necessarily a feel-good sensation, but definitely an excited one. With horror art, the artist’s intention is to create a sense of morbid fascination, unease, dread, a macabre rush of adrenalin as fear crawls up the spine, or, most effectively, a recoil, as the imagery reminds one of a recent nightmare

THE ART LAIR - horror artwork

October 9th 2007 01:40

I was surfing with intent and came across a great site full of horror and Gothic art by a multitude of artists, most of which is actually uncredited. The site is intended for webpage designers, so many of them are quite small images for using as avatars, etc. There are numerous code generators and even a whole section for myspace junkies.

The site is a smorgasbord of horror artwork; all blood and darkness for the artiste children of the night. Most are vivid paintings, but many are digitally manipulated photographs, while others are just black and white sketches, and some images are almost endearing, in a strange, macabre kind of way
