The Art of Chris Brodal

Today I'm continuing with the posting of artists who craft images that challenge our perceptions of reality.Chris Brodal's work can be found in the Marc Foxx gallery, located in Los Angeles, California. His work in this exhibition is centrally focused on skulls and the human head. The variety of ways in which this artist incorporates these subjects into beautiful, mysterious, and sleek works of art (usually paintings) is worth a look.



I could not find a personal website for Mr. Brodal, but after the break is a link to his gallery exhibition in L.A.

The Art of Mark Powell

http://www.markpowellart.com/

Imagine the darkest, foulest, most physically sickening thing you can. Imagine it is flesh that has lost purpose and turned into something without true form or real meaning. Mark Powell has taken these ideas and brought them to life. He creates miniature dioramas in excruciatingly minute detail. This is an artist that has created a bizarre new reality; a place where our sense of self has been mutilated beyond any semblance of thought or design and been left to rot in the dank sewers of our imaginations. It is exquisite to view and something at which to stare for as long as you can. Now click on the link and enjoy some macabre delights!
