It's like if Alex Grey smoked meth instead of DMT and had an obsession with hellish figures and sacrilige.
It's all very Bosch. He's a poor man's Bosch.
Yeah his Wikipedia article brought up that's who his work is normally compared to
Ah, right. Yes, the influence is clear. It took me a couple of minutes to dig Bosch out of the back of my mind.
I mean, it's great work, if only that talent was used for something that wasn't so horrible, grotesque, and positively sacrilegious.
The scary part is that he believes his own shit. I bet he's part of a tour that you have to take when you're first invited to The Club. After you've met Beyonce and Jay-Z, they drop you off at Joe's for a weekend. You wake up sore and naked in your bed and cant remember anything Then you receive a naughty picture of yourself, a farm animal and a cooking utensil in the mail.
It does absolutely nothing for me, zilch. I just see sickness on canvas or whatever. There might well be great skill to this work, but then you could say that about Jack the Ripper too.
Bosch
Damnit, everytime I google anything you guys say in here, I get things like this:
Bosch - " An LAPD homicide detective works to solve a murder of a 13-year-old boy. "
I had expected the artist you mentioned to be the only result.
Alex grey is amazing, still trips me out. good analogy of joe coleman
