Damian De Souza ~ Psychopomp

I love the color palette here. This strange dog-faced creature who appears to be dancing while absolutely still. A multi-dimensional dance.

I always think of Damian as our surrealistic Francis Bacon (the modern one) with a little Lucian Freud thrown in, but darkly futuristic in a way that recalls J.G. Ballard’s very odd science fiction stories. Clive Barker’s weird stories come to mind as well.

Thank you, Knox, it’s always a pleasure to have a “daily pic” and as is often the case, you add something to the image with your impressions of it and references. I’ve read about the authors you mention but have never actually read them … must check them out.
