I'm starting to doubt what it was but according to dude his cousin or sister or some shit is an art dealer in NY. Who cares, as long as its not in my living room. Pretensious bastards... Quoted post perhaps something like these? I like the colored squares better. I'd love to have a real Rothko in my house. I stayed in a house in Ibiza that had a real Botero in it. Pretty fucking dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 You know how there are those threads that you don't click on for some unknown reason, and then when you do they are always a gold mine??? Hirst: "Mother and child divided" not my faviourite artist, but thoroughly entertaining. Jake and Dinos Chapman aka The Chapman Brothers... Joseph Beuys Magritte Anish Kapoor is one if my favourites. Cornelia Parker, a close famliy friend, but her shit is amazing. Word Milton, come to london, do some culture... or CUWLCHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudebra1 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hieronymus Bosch This is the right panel from his "Garden of Earthly Delights" triptych. Dude has some serious depictions of torture and hell. Sorry about the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shape1369 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Family friend has an amazing set up of the three panels in his house. I love just staring at it and seeing all the small detail he put into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merk or be merked Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 chapman brothers is sick... one of my favorite pieces is hell.... it was destroyed in a fire though..... here is an article about it... 'Hell' by the Chapman Brothers by: Mister Savage Monday 15 December 2003 I would like to point one thing out. I am not a big fan of the Chapman brothers. I find most of their work a little dull, or too heavily laden with achingly trendy shock values. But their incredible project, "Hell", had me utterly gob-smacked and massively impressed. Consisting of eight model landscapes, approximately 3'x5' each, the aptly named installation depicts an incredibly graphic vision of eternal pain with the help of over 5000 miniature people; all of whom are individually hand painted and cast. Characters generally consist of skeletons, naked men and men in Nazi uniform; usually wrapped up in a grim 'what would have happened if the Nazis won' holocaust-style mass execution in the goriest ways possible. The weird thing was that nobody seemed to be the real perpetrators; there were almost as many Nazis being tortured as anyone else. It's so systematic, but there's nobody in charge. Crucifixions, impaling, burning, gassing, trampling, shooting, hanging - all of it makes for a harrowing image; all done with such care and attention that I couldn't look away. It reminded me of a boys game of toy soldiers gone horribly wrong. But something odd started to happen to me as I looked at this spectacle. I became accustomed to it, finding a morbid sense of humour imprinted throughout the models. There was the man with his head stuck in the railings. The man who looked like a comic book character as he contemplated suicide at the top of a watch-tower. There was a skeleton driving happily around on a motorcycle as others around him were being gutted. And let's not forget the Nazi with a clipboard going about his murderous business, but with no trousers on. It was a labour of love, a two-year mammoth project filled with almost as much absurdity as gore. The explaination said that it was made in model form because people were becoming desensitised to violence on television. It said that people needed to see gore in 3D to be horrified anymore. I suppose this is true, but I don't think that was the reason. I think this was a lad project. That is, the Chapman brothers, like so many guys, have a love of toy soldiers. They used this to create something thought provoking, intelligent and fascinating. It truly has to be seen to be believed. In other words, well done you crazy brothers. pics...the few i could find this site has alot of pics from "Hell" it looks like it would have been amazing to see...and prolly retty freaky... wish I could have seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Jackson -- I've been trying to make it to London for a good three or four years and keep putting it off. Eventually I'll just pony up the money and fly out... Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. The hell piece looks interesting, I'm going to search for more pictures now...
