Re: The Karz Works Francis Bacon Connection Very cool. When I first saw the painted apps on the finished piece it screamed to me a Lovecraftian theme.

Not sure if this is considered "Fine art" More like surrealism or dark surrealism at best. Nothing wrong with that though since im a big fan of surrealism in general but "Fine Art" to me are like those extremely boring landscape paintings and shit like that.

Re: The Karz Works Francis Bacon Connection Francis Bacon's influence is undeniable. Just look at the work of David Lynch, Trent Reznor, and other Bacon devotees.

Francis Bacon's work is definitely fine art. Fine art usually just refers to the level of recognition and credit an artist receives, not the genre of art it is classified as.

Ah ok well thanks for the clarification. I always assumed it was a genre with painting in general. Its still a cool as hell painting. Would like to see more transparent vinyl colors done with this toy like the blue one i have. I know there is a red one to but thats about it for right now i think.

Re: The Karz Works Francis Bacon Connection We're gonna need some pope figures too.
Thanks for sharing the toy. I wasn't aware. The better half loves his works.
