Zdzislaw bekzinski

Bekzinski is a renouned polish painter and photographer. His paintings and drawing are gothic fantacy and are often focusing on representing surrealist worlds. His work is both visually stunning and really is rather eerie and almost frightening in places. it all revolves around worlds filled with creepy looking demons and creatures that look like they should be in a tim burton movie. However supposidly this was a vast contrast to the person Bekzinzki was because he was seen as a vastly happy man. His photography has the edge of surrealism seen in his other mediums of work. The dark and dreamly black and white contrasty photos often shows portraits but in a way that you never see the whole person, cut off and unusally framed photos. He also uses a play on shadows, sometime to the point of obstructing a whole face. One of a woman leaving the frame  reminds me ALOT of meshes of the afternoon that can be seen in a pervious post. Its very interesting and this idea of closely or oddly cropping to get just a section of a person revealed is something i have been thinking of including in my video.
