The Nightmare Artist 

Respect+

So much this, it was one of the main reasons why I chose to, last minute, not go to an art academy. Someone had made an abstract painting, nothing special visually. But, the student had created a whole bookwork, explaining every single dot as a whole in the narrative. They had to create a picture of a cup and add meaning to everything. I hated it so much. I am not a writer, I don't want to make proze, with the visual depiction as support to the story. It's fine if things are done with an intent, if you add another layer, but it shouldn't be the other way around. It's so forced.

@@kizu6669 I mean at the end of the day, it's still subjective. If you don't like it, it's fine but that doesn't mean that it's worthless or is inferior to a certain style

@@kizu6669 I have also thought about that alot, totally agree

@@remyhavoc4463 it's subjective in the real world, however in a school environment, it's required and it will lead to worse grades if you don't apply it.

Yeah. Yeah, you definitely have a point there. Sheesh...crazy world we live in.

That’s why you should just not care and screw around all you want bud, who’s stopping you?

😂

Just a bright objective,yet dark dim subjective viewed reflection of ones own delusional uncivil environment!Capturing the darkest surrealistic of historical nightmares, inside the enigmatic mysterious elements of time.Only to unravel the real true to life contents of ones own fate!

The darkest of art reveals the brightest of truths.The brightest of art,exposes the darkest reality.(That is seen through the trained eye)Rememeber,you seen it here first!

It does remind me of his work too

Wouldn't say so, elden ring is by far the most light-hearted of all souls games. It doesn't really have any dark scenery. Dark souls has some that has some elements in common with Beksiński, however dark souls is based off berserk by kentaro miura. Also, kentaro miura and Zdzisław Beksiński have many similar elements in their artwork. Though kentaro miura has more of a "dark fantasy" thing going on, while Zdzisław Beksiński has a "dark brutal insanity" style. I'd say the closest game to represent Zdzisławs art would be darkwood, psychologic and Bloodborne.

@@leonniyawski3929 Godrick is the only thing that comes to mind when I think of Beksinski's work in Elden Ring. And that might be unintentional. Perhaps Caelid or Mountaintops too, but only because of the giant skeletons, the idea of the place, not anything concrete.

@@SaladDongs not really, it's just that his art and caelid has similar pallet. But the style, atmosphere and elements of both works are completely different. People just look at things very shallowly, they see that the two have something somewhat vaguely similar and assume. Beksińskis art had elements of solitude, unnatural scenery, chaotic beings and building, randomly standing out surrounded by nothingness, no order, no system, no feeling that it's whole. Caelid is a whole series of places, beings, no feeling of chaos, everything ties together, everything is connected, it's corrupt but natural, there is order, there is a system, there is a whole. You get what I'm sayin'?

@@leonniyawski3929 Yeah I get you. And despite getting the same feeling that the comparisons are shallow, maybe it's for the better. Now they associate this kind of art with a less internationally known artist, and that's gotta count for something right?

True

sadly happens to many amazing artist

are you sure about the information if witnessing his wife's death and his son's suicide? because i'm doing a presentation on him and would love to put this information if its true, if it is i would love some source

@@ThundererR64T in truth there is no reliable source of the circumstances. But they were his only family. I find it very hard to imagine that he was not there to see his son and wife when they passed away. His son himself was anti-social from what I have read, and known to be suicidal, so I assume he was found by Beksinski Sr. But again, this is only conjecture, speculation; not backed up by solid evidence. I quickly googled to check for facts, but his life is not super well documented as you can imagine for someone like him. Feel free to do the same but don't expect an encyclopedia. Good luck

Did his son really end up that way? Didn't he survived a plane crash but died a decade later due to cocaine addiction?

Haha

His early paintings were amazing, better than his photographs

Couldn't deal with Notredame not being made entirely out of rotting flesh

I love his work a lot, he inspires my works of art and literary fiction. The other person who inspires me is Zack Snyder but more in his use of cinematic language and detailed storytelling.

ok

GOLD HAHA

Good one !

Actually he did record himself painting a lot of his work and also let others film him in while he was working. Some of these are on YT and even with english subtitles ;)

I think a video from Solar Sands would be interesting to share as well, he has a few very good art videos

he sounds like a bad teacher, the second half of this video is stupid

Awesome!

There is a meaning in his art. It's emotions and feelings that can't be expressed with words.

@@arx3516 I meant he wasn't PURPOSEFULLY trying to strike an emotion or create a meaning. His art is his expression of emotions, an extension of himself.

Art expression at another level! You can compare this to improvisation in comedy. No script, just telling funny stories without restrictions. The more you think the less you express.

@@Downecker Exactly!

They're great. He articulated why they're like this well. They transcend. They blend with time & tech aesthetics of the time. This was the space, and he's made it a lasting language through these constructions of whole realities.

@jack bob yup totally the world im living in

It was therapy for him.

I think the game "Scorn" (not yet released) is close to the world of Beksinski (and Cronenberg's movies). Edit: Yes, also H.R. Giger

I think that game is called Bloodborne

@@Farengast was going to say elden ring coming soon but yeah

Uh, how 'bout just regular ol' Dark Souls (or Demon Souls)? I think Beksinski's shit definitely qualifies as some inspiration for that series.

Or being raised in that world

Or an album of every heavy metal sub genre

@@EliasMheart its cool tho

There is a game called The Medium. It's a horror game inspired by Beksinski nightmare art.

especially 11:58

I'm sending you off to Perfect Blue

Beksiński*

it could work if you're going for a cold, mysterious look

Actually, for centuries the color blue was used in paintings to symbolize things like the devil and eternal cold and darkness. A quick Google search will show you many of these kinds of paintings. The color blue has been used a lot in modern horror also. Take "Clive Barker's Hellraiser" for example. If you Google "Hellraiser" and hit images, you will mostly see shades of blue.

@@Biancapanzram that's a really cool history, thank you!! I'll check it out immediately.

Frfr

Well I think there's a difference between saying what the various symbols may be representing and trying to give a specific meaning to the painting as a whole. It's more talking about the themes than a definite meaning. Like what he said about the blue paint, that gave me a whole deeper appreciation for the work. But if he just said "this painting means nazis are bad" that wouldn't really add anything.

When he went from blue color in paintings to prussian blue i had to stop watching.

His wife died as an old person. Son was a well-known radio presenter and translator. Known as cursed - really ???

@@Lord.Sinclair his wife died in 1998 and his son committed suicide just a year later, on the Christmas eve of 1999. And Beksiński was, indeed, stabbed to death in 2005. He was stabbed 17 times, two of the stab wounds were fatal. I don't know about the "cursed" part, but this series of misfortunate events is rather tragic.

@@pytlikklara His wife died in age of 70 years and his son comit suicide in age of 41 years old. He was a very known person. He nad always personality problems so he had agreement with his father : he doesn't comit a suicide untill his mother die ...

oh my god that is so sad

@@pytlikklara i was born on 25th dec 1999 . guess im his son reincarnate

i think the story is quite obvious for a lot of them and so doesnt need an explenation... he saw atrocities of WW2 and the aftermath and this is the result.. ive seen photos of vitims, as well as survivors of concentration camps from my grandma and they look extremely alike to his paintings.. something he also probably doesnt want to think about too much.. he is also a horny traumatised person lol

@@michaelak6753 I agree with this person. The backstory In Praise of Shadows gave about him can define a link of meaning to his works. A lot of the depiction of the works are of emanciated bodies, of war and vets, of religion, of death and decay, of violence and of shock. The color scheme he oftens uses seem to be of warmer colors, something that can be tied back to colors of bombings or explosions and fire. These themes can be pulled back to WW2, as well as other incidences during these times, and could have been a source of, as dryly put it, inspiration. Or his interpretation. He could have stated that there's no meaning to his artwork for clout. He could have stated there is no meaning as he did want to have to explain his work. He could have stated there is no meaning because the meaning is already apparent. There's loads of possibilities as to why he says that, but I bet it is a mixture of everything as to why. I would not be surprised, though, if he did it solely for clout. I personally think everything is inheriently meaningless, from which then some things become meaningful after some significant key of importance, be it influential, historical, or any other kind. Some of his works, I'd argue, are completely meaningless. But these set of specific paintings? I'd say there is definitely some kind of meaning.

The stories are his experiences and world views being mixed and randomly generated by his hand onto the canvas. There was no need for him to name them or explain them, because he knew what they were without being conscious of it.

have you ever drawn a million strait lines?

@@joev6049 we tend to forget that the battlefields of ww2 were enormous and that there wasn't enough man power to clean up after the soldiers were killed. That meant after thief's, and sometimes family members the dead would rot. Thousands of people rotting away the smell alone could drive some light minded people insane. Animals feasting on the dead in stalingrad to this day you can find a layer of dead beetles underneath the topsoil that was cast onto the battlefields months sometimes years later. Our mind can't comprehend the horror and I think it's a shame that this particular page of warfare is forgotten about.

Well photography is meant to display reality, obviously Beksinski was not so found of portraying a reality. So consider photography to be a tree, and Bekinski's work to be something that looks like a tree but warped through multiple dimensions and hell like realms.

I think at that time photography had already been re-established to protray reality as accurately as possible, so many people thought of that as its purpose. Going out of one's way to make photographs look unreal and unclear was anti-photography to the mainstream.

not really, by calling it that the intent is not to exclude it from the category of photography, but to make a simple indication of that art form positioning in its existing context; like we use to say about anti-jokes; they are still jokes and makes us laugh (or maybe just triggering a short "ha" or a mild exhale through our nose) through the absurdly "normal", some time way too relatable, sometimes even sad, substitute of a punch line.

yeah they're emotional facists ho claim they are better and also conservative

That's what people do

I can relate to him so much. For the longest time I felt I had to force myself to learn how to put symbolism in art because of how it seems everyone expects it in art, sometimes even paying more attention to the story behind a work instead of the work itself. Felt like art NEEDED symbolism or a story or some shit in order to be good. Having learned about this guy made me more confident to just create, and not have to worry about adding something to it that I honestly never cared for.

Maybe it has a deeper meaning. Its just so deep noone has figured out

I see a lot of deeper meaning in his art, but he definitely favors vivid imagery. I think he uses that to draw you into the image and that in itself forces the viewer to think.

Sour Puss I feel the same way. People like to put pressure on art only being art if it has some great symbolism.

@@sourpuss5951 well isnt that the same thing?

@@mesolithicman164 Maybe he finally found peace.

a ghibli documentary? doesnt ghibli make anime?

I love Ghibli!

@@LL-tr5et a documentary about ghiblis story probably lol

Actually when looking into the backstories and references for the artwork of Ghibli, it is sometimes as disturbing as this. It's just delivered differently. Remember my neighbour Totoro ? It is said to be about two kids, that actually disappeared and believed to be murdered. Totoro is portrayed as a friend, on their way to heaven. Spirited away ? Deals with selling your soul, the bath house is actually the traffic spot for sex workers (prostitution). Miyazaki obviously didn't want to confront kids so directly, with topics like these but gave out subconcious messages by a few scenes here and there, for the adults to understand.

@@LL-tr5et yes they do, they make anime movies

Just like my teacher.

I found that kindof ironic and funny too... but hes probably mainlining some truth. hahaha

@Toxic Potato That was what the artist was hinting at though. He wanted each of the viewers of his works to come to their own interpretations of his art. David lynch shares a similar like mindedness in that regard. 10 people can listen to a song and come up with 10 different interpretations as to its meaning as reflected through the lens of their own personal perspective. And that is why art is such a powerful medium of exploration into the mind of the artist and art aficionado alike.

Some critics, by "interpreting", actually try reading the mind of the artist and turn it in a statement, with the certainty of a disambiguation. The color remark in the video is much more of an external observation, more like noticing a hint, instead of a story.

LMFAOOO. yes please slow down the panning speed!!!

I kind of understand why that might be frustrating. But to be truthful, what's the very first thing you try to do when you encounter something you don't understand completely? You try to understand it. You can't completely disregard that feeling ESPECIALLY looking at these paintings and paintings like these.

also the video before he said that: "despite his wishes I am going to talk about some things that are hard to disregard in regards to bringing meaning to these paintings"

I'm irked by Beksinski's claim that these paintings were just pictures to look at, without any meaning. BS. Oh yeah i'll just randomly write IN HOC SIGNO VINCES on the wall, for no particular reason; i just thought the wall looked empty, and i think these words have nice aesthetics. :P

@@lowgrasswhite all aesthetics bruh. What? This giant sea of skulls that build an entire sky scraper? Has 0 meaning? YEA OKAY BEKSINSKI

It is in our nature to interpret what we encounter. It is also a common trope of artists in the world as it is now to dismiss interpretation as a way not to be boxed in by critics and spectators. You can't help but seek meaning in his work because it is so dazzling and mind bending. He clearly has a million thoughts in his head and these strange thoughts motivated him to create his art.

powerpc127 literally made me dizzy and sick. So irritating

What the artist says is usually irrelevant to their work. They're simply the creator; they can't stop others from interpreting or finding some form of meaning.

When an artist directly confirms that their paintings have no deeper meaning, then interpretation becomes imposition -- that is, someone claiming to know better than the guy from whose mind the painting originated. Such people are then ascribing depth and meaning when none exist and are trying to make themselves look smart instead of just appreciating art for art's sake. No wonder Beksinski disliked such a self-aggrandising mentality by self-appointed intellectual that have no idea what they're talking about.

@@supereldinho It has no deeper meaning to the artist; that doesn't mean the paintings don't have deeper meaning to anyone else who looks at them and feels something from them. It's one thing to claim that "the artist meant this" or "the artist did this because" but it's quite another to never allow anyone to see any form of symbolism or depth just because the artist didn't feel anything. Lou Reed once said that "I could be wrong" in regards to how he interprets his songs and understands them. Everyone who takes in a piece of art is going to take something different away from it. There's nothing wrong with taking an artist's pieces and placing them in the historical context of the artist's life. I'd much rather have an artist leave the interpretation up to the viewer/listener rather than just dictate how they should feel.

​@@therealshackleford1 Fair enough, people are almore than welcome to interpret things -- it's just when they start to view those interpretations as fact or profess to know better than the artist is where things go outta line, at least in my opinion. After all, Beksinski was quite up-front with his stance of the subject and I respect him for that. If he had something to say, he would've just said it, so he drew his art for its own sake rather than trying to impose some greater meaning on it. I like that kind of honesty. Or hell, I don't mind an artist who admits that their own interpretation isn't necessarily better than everyone else's. All I'm saying is, Beksinski disliked the idea of imposing interpretation upon others and just preferred people to enjoy his art for its own sake and I appreciate his honesty on the subject. But hey, I can't stop people from disagreeing with him, so have at it, I say.

@@supereldinho I think we're mostly in agreement with each other. From what I understand, Beksinski was a pretty happy guy who just enjoyed making his art the way he wanted to; he didn't like the idea of people telling him what his art "meant" or what motivated him to make it; after-all, it's a harsh stereotype that all artists are mentally unstable geniuses who throw their darkest, deepest thoughts onto canvas. It seems as though he found a style that he liked and just did what he wanted. I have a huge respect for that. Warhol was very much the same way; he just didn't care what others thought. I agree that we've been exposed to too many "experts" and teachers who tell us that all art has a definite meaning and motivation. We must move away from that type of interpretation. Personally I think his artwork has a lot to say on its own merit, and it can be tiresome to assign every brushstroke with some type of deeper meaning than it has.

Beksiński had few very good computers. He made lot of digital arts.

@@ukaszgabryel4540 digital art wasn’t where it is now, the works that can be created now are out of this world, back at the dawn on photoshop artists where very limited but also where still learning and experimenting with the medium which has resulted in works that haven’t stood the test of time imo, I know for a fact that if he was alive today and was able to sink a substantial amount of time into these programs the works of art he would create would be unimaginably good

Well..name one important good work of digital art in general compared to one Pic of Leonardo (sum up all computer games, VRs, whatever)..."digital art" i think its an oxymoron, like making "music" with a computer..im not saying inferior, its just not about what we call art or expression anymore.
