zdzisław beksiński, dystopian world of living and death
Beksiński made his paintings and drawings in what he called either a Baroque or a Gothic manner, with his strong impressionism on war and sorrow in his era by depicting it into utopian realism with strong doomsday-like-paintings. (A mind trash of Avery and her unbearable thoughts).
As he claimed "I wish to paint in such a manner as if I were photographing dreams." Really resonated well in my mind, sort of the revelation of each overthinking ideas and the suffering of each troubled minds, but depicted well in the-great-depression era, let alone the infamous painting of him talking about the infamous sole nazi leader, with red hue and piercing eyes drawn in great facade of elegant greco-roman architecture war (coughs, yes, hitler).
His paintings were dominantly (not all, but some) used the prussian blue hue, which, matching to my likings, yet have gruesome background in that era. Prussic acid also known as hydrogen cyanide, that most of the time left blue hues in asylums and chambers that are used for the mass k wording method in that era.

His painting also reminded me of cyanotype printing method, though. As it was the most ‘knocked-out-painted-realism-out-of-a-photographs’, it was often latent, or invisible but requiring a chemical to visualize the image. Two different method but same vision, visualization of the utopian ideas of the realism itself.
Actually, his paintings were giving haruki murakami’s mind boggling dystopian type of painting, maybe that’s why it’s fun to stare at his works, because it’s like imagining, and manifesting Murakami’s work into life.
