Perhaps taking Rousseau's Tiger in a Tropical Storm as a template... ...Smudger in a Dondeh downpour perhaps...! Taxidermy looks easy for this pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Can't do much searching as I am in work but HR Gyger produced some masterful pieces. All very dark and many overtly sexual. He should probably have been locked up at a young age, for producing the work he done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a museum a few hours from me in a wee town called Gruyères, which I visited a few years ago. I only knew him for Alien at that point. Most of the stuff is along those lines, but some of it was just completely off the wall even by that sort of standard. The bar is an absolute masterpiece though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Do we like Avril Paton? Thistle supporters - Windows In The West? Tbh I think you really need to see the full size original painting in Kelvingrove to appreciate the amount of detail in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've seen it - when it used to be in GOMA. I have a biggish print of it in my living room! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) It's a beautiful rendition of a classic Glasgow-style tenement. I don't know what it's supposed to "say" to me, and I don't really care. It's very pleasant to look at, and draws the eye in, craving more detail.
