OnyxonblackThese are all amazing, practically oozing with feeling!
I’m of the opinion that night scenes in cinema should be shot with a similarly tinted green.
Not black as is the case now thanks to the Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro inspired film noir light.
Nor as the blue light of early color films. Blue feels like dusk or dawn. For example the recent nosferatu by Eggers.
Green must be the cinematic color of the night sky.
I think I recall a few films that did this. I want to say City of Lost Children and/or Dark City had green sky effects.
Holy smokes.
Isn’t this a level in Bloodborne or something?
For real though, amazing colors and contrast. I was just out enjoying the harvest supermoon tonight and these really capture the same magic.
Thanks for introducing me to this artist!
I was reading his Wikipedia page and it seems like he was heavily criticised by critics for the use of camera obscura because he didn’t have skills to do perspectives.
Some questioned whether paintings made with this technique could be considered paintings at all.
Imagine if we taught these Victorian-era critics about “AI artists,” lol.
I’ve always enjoyed these. His work is quite common across the North of England where I live (and also where he lived for much of his life) - a lot of municipal galleries have one or more in their collections. Leeds art gallery has loads of them. I was never sure how well known his work was outside of the area - so great to see them on here.
These are really good
His skies really capture that feeling of light being retained in the atmosphere.

Oh my gosh, this is gorgeous. I’m not someone who is actively into art, so I tend to only discover artists that I like through serendipity like this. For that reason, thank you for this post.
I found my new wallpaper. Thank you.
SceptikskyMy new 2snd favorite painter now. Thanks
Well that begs the question. Who’s up top?
Zdzisław fucking Beksiński
Ah yes. He’s gotten a lotta love in recent years.
OP, please keep going. This series is really cool. I’m learning a lot!
Thanks. I love this stuff. Happy to keep going.
