The Gnostic Art of Zdzislaw Beksinski

Check this gallery of Zdzislaw Beksinski´s incredibly surreal works.

I believe I visited his gallery on Prague few years ago. I had a hangover and all-night clubbing-related fatigue that day, but his art rocked my socks off. I have never seen so vivid post-apocalyptic visions outside my head! This polish man was a fucking genious visionaire! Sadly he was murdered last year by his long-time assistant´s son for just money.. If you think that is unfair, think about her wife who died 1988 (widowing him) and his son who committed suicide just year after, 1999. Sheesh! Good nightmares..
