This episode’s Community Spotlight is on New York-based painter and draftsman, Daniel Raymond Chadwick! Check out his blogspot at danielraymondchadwick.blogspot.com.
How is it that you guys are all praises when it comes to Zdzisław Beksiński being adopted by the art world ( ...Wait, let me guess, the way he died was more intriquing than falling down a flight of stairs?... ) and not H.R. Giger? As usual, the Art World is full of crap. Also, these videos always sound pretentious.
The fact that he's often called "The Nightmare Artist" is quite ironic because imo his art is simply a reflection of life itself through his own psyche (the struggle for survival in a life that constantly reminds you of your own insignificance). To call his art a nightmare is to call life itself a nightmare.
I like that read! I think you’re onto something, so much of the way we digest his work has to do with our personal life philosophies and experiences. I admittedly don’t understand how his images could be seen as humorous or optimistic, but they’re certainly profound and many of them are uniquely beautiful.
@J. C. I once heard it translated thusly: since “sukkha” (I believe that’s the term, I’m going off memory here) is translated as “wheel,” “dukkha” could be interpreted as that one annoying grocery cart wheel that either squeaks, squeals, gets stuck or doesn’t turn properly. I find this a more satisfying translation since suffering doesn’t exactly describe what happens during happy moments - you know, when you’re expecting a certain level of happiness from an event or an achievement but it doesn’t quite fully satisfy you? almost like that cloyingly grittiness you get when you taste something slightly too sweet
@@TheArtTourist Another thing is that I feel like Beskinski was at least in some way traumatized by the war and atrocities that happened in his youth hence the rather destructive and broken look his paintings have.
I like to think Beksinski's rejection of symbolism is similar to Tolkien's rejection of allegory in his own work. Looking for linear one-to-one interpretations cheapen the emotional impact of just experiencing Beksinski's work. To me, the physical subjects of his art were made because they elicit complex and visceral psychological and emotional responses, not because of any particular symbology.
I like this reading, the idea that its not because the inspirations arent there, but that we are leaving them as just that, inspirations that inform the work but the work doesnt symbolise
My dad was the same age as Beksinskis son, and said he would often play with him growing up...he always told me that Zdislaw was a really nice guy, and that his son tomek was nice, but weird/troubled....He also told me that a few times when he would visit their house, beksinski would give him some rough drafts of paintings that he didn't want, but my dad was so afraid of them that he threw them out when he got home lol
@@gustav91 musze sie go zapytac, ale pameitam ze raz mi opowiadal ze Tomek kupil se papuge, i wsadzil ja do zamrazarki na pare godzin.....no, szkoda ze je wszytskie wywalil, ale on byl dzieckiem, i sie bal hehehee
The biggest Collection of Beksinski's art is in his home town Sanok. There is Beksinski Gallery established by himself. Also in Krakow - Nowa Huta is exhibition of his paintings. He wanted to share art with people that is why he and his family donated a lot of his works to the museums.
Really enjoyed this. He is my favorite artist along with H.R. Giger, M.C. Escher, Gustave Dore, Albrecht Durer, and Salvador Dali. I could sit and stare at their works for hours wandering the corridors of their minds.
Im not an art aficionado, dont know anything about this industry. But only beksinski lured me too seek all the works of an artist. It easily shook the existential spirit- his last work was what set the most impression on me, that i began tearing up the longer i looked at it i dont even know why exaclty, it wasnt really looked that macabre or “doom”-feeling. It was surreal
BROOOOOOOOOOO FOR MY ART CLASS I HAD TO FIND A SURREALISM ARTIST AND PAINT SOMETHING INSPIRED BY THEM AND I CHOSE HIM AND GOT EXTRA CREDIT BECAUSE THE TEACHER THOUGHT IT LOOKED COOL
There's a videogame series that has had it's latest release titled Elden Ring. The prior games by the same developer are venerated by fans for astoundingly haunting while epic art direction. Learning about Beksisnski now for the first time.. There's no way the artists that contribute to the aforementioned series of games haven't seen this late artists work. Those fantastic period pieces by Beksinski are just amazing. Also great to see that lots of his work is in a museum and not just gobbled up in some private bunker.
Awesome! Not surprising though, when you search for his work it yields a lot of imagery made in his style, so he’s clearly been a huge influence on many artists!
There is a really well put together story driven Horror Game called: "The Medium". It was developed by a Polish team and is directly inspired by Beksinski's work. It has great reviews, is beautiful and I myself enjoyed the story a lot. Maybe check it out 😊
I'm from San-river region, and his art here is very popular, i saw some of his paintings in libraries. My profesor often says that his art is straight taken out of the slavic soul and i think i can agree with it. I'm very often in Sanok, and it's really hard to belive that this artist was born in such a lovely place.
I love Beksinski, he reminds me of HR. Geiger a bit as well. For anyone wondering, a team of developers are currently making a game heavily inspired by Beksinski; its called Scorn and will drop this October. I made a video on it too :)
Why do I find his art calming? There's a sort of serenity in just accepting the hellscape. Going off what I saw in the video alone, the isolated figures in the infinite landscapes makes the horror feel contained without undermining, and still acknowledging its disturbing power. I dunno if that makes sense, but that's how it makes me feel. Reminds me a lot of Dark Souls.
I happen to live about a 10min walk from the warsaw flat where he lived i go by a memorial to him whenever i go to get some bread. He lived in the most typical old small flat of the most typical building in a poorly built housing project in boring part of the city. its such a contrast to how unusual and special his art is
I would love a in depth analysis of Zdzislaw beksinski artwork. Please make a 2 hour long episode on his art (covering every single painting). That would be great like a documentary.
@@motorlife7037 yeah you're right, but it would be really hard, if not impossible to find scans and photos of all of his paintings to create such a video
I've had a few of this guy's works saved on my PC for years without knowing who he is. And the recent album by Lorna Shore has a cover that reminds of this guy's work. It's strange that this video just got randomly recommended to me but i am glad to finally learn about this guy and know who makes this stuff that strikes such a cord.
The more I watch of your channel the more I'm convinced I'm just an ignorant fool when it comes to art. I'm a hack artist who is increasingly inspired by the artists you cover and the information you so deftly deliver. This was magnificent... as have they all been. But myself being drawn to surrealism, I'm hooked on Beksinski. How... have I not know this brilliant artist before now. THANK YOU!
I have no idea how your video was in my recommended, but I am glad it was. The art you featured is extraordinarily beautiful to me. Thank you for bringing this master to my exceptionally uneducated art noob brain.
An absolute tragedy that this great man/artist left this world the way he did. I can't believe it's been 17 years since his untimely death. Where has the time gone? I'm grateful that his work lives on and inspires new generations to seek out his talent and brilliance. Thank you for the excellent coverage of Beksinski. Karol Bak would be another great polish artist to do a profile on.
Thank you for this very well documented historical and personal detail on Beksinski that gives this presentation context for understanding his creative life in depth.
Every single time I think "oh I wonder if several circles has posted anything" you upload a video the very next day! I'm so excited to see this one! I love the scope in painters, time periods, and type of art that you cover! I've discovered a few of my now favorite artists from watching this channel! Thank you very much :)
I actually appreciate the artist's refusal to drown on about the meaning and the intent behind every painting. Lord knows there's enough art "experts" who would shed millions of words on his art on their own.
I have three first editon art books from the original run that I believe he was a part of, two in english and one in polish. I've had some crazy offers on them but I could never let them go. I've been obsessed with beksinski since I was 11 years old and at 24 his inspiration has pushed me into probably hundreds of gallery shows and plenty of earnings as an artist. I'm nowhere near my peak or close to touching his level of quality but people can feel that ethereal yet grounded depiction of humanity in my work and often without me saying anything people notice the influence. Anyone who sees him as a nightmare artist missed the entire point.
I really like his paintings. I dont know how to paint but i felt something looking on those masterpiece. The feeling that i am inside of it manisfesting the suffering and horror of the reality.
I love to daydream with one of my artists-inspired-worlds, it is a mix up of Remedios Varo, Zdzilaw Beksinski, Mariusz Lewandowski and Wayne Barlowe's worlds, theirs and some others works have been an important part of my personal life, it has been a pleasure to have a few dreams (not nightmares) in worlds inspired by their art.
I love how your cat watches you speak with such a purpose that he appears to be retaining the art history for future use of some sort. I love that I found your channel by the way. You seem to be extremely well versed in these lessons. Some people tend to simply repeat information and some are able to recite it with an expression in their voice telling the listener that you are enjoying yourself and love the idea of teaching others. Great stuff! Instant sub💖 Berkinski is one of my favorite artists in the entire world. I love how he seriously left the majority of his artwork free of preconceived backstories leaving his catalog strictly for viewers to use their own background and state of mind to make of the works however it may suit the individual. I just thought I'd offer up a bit about how I felt upon seeing his work for the first time. I love doing this in case there are people out there who feel the same way. When it opens up a dialogue of sorts and gives two total strangers a bond over their shared feelings and ultimately celebrates the artist. I believe the very first one I saw was an opening to what looked like an entrance to a large looming tower or something complete with a background suggesting a desolate location free of the usual friendly sunny skies and fluffy clouds. It immediately invoked feelings of being alone and not exactly lonely. Instead of a longing for company I savored my alone time and appreciated the solitude since it was the only time one may be able to reflect on their life and choices without the altered reality we experience when we are considering the opinion of others and whether or not we choose to take it into consideration or feign interest. Apologies for this rambling comment but I truly love Bekinski and was really excited to hear you break down his life and the trajectory in which it traveled leading to such a prominent art style.
I’m impressed by the fact accuracy; there’s many videos and publications about Beksinski but this one stands out in my opinion. One single thing; Zofia Beksinska died not of cancer but of descending aorta aneurysm rapture (beginning 90’ an operation was a huge risk of paralysis and Zofia choose to take her chances).
I love Beksinski's art, but I just got to say: the host, Rachel, is a wonderful presenter. I was charmed by her presentation, voice, beauty and mannerisms. Great job on the research and video!!
came here first and foremost to learn how to pronoucne this glorious artists' name. Been a fan of his for a while. would love to go back in time and meet him.
Thank you Several Circles for your video. I was very surprised at this artist, and though he might not be in the major art canon yet, I think he will one day.

How do community spotlights work? Is it something you need to apply for?
Yes! Details here - th-cam.com/video/il0QzvcnWHU/w-d-xo.html
How is it that you guys are all praises when it comes to Zdzisław Beksiński being adopted by the art world ( ...Wait, let me guess, the way he died was more intriquing than falling down a flight of stairs?... ) and not H.R. Giger? As usual, the Art World is full of crap. Also, these videos always sound pretentious.

After artist i would love to see a video about liminal spaces and also Jared pike

_Yes._
@J. C. I once heard it translated thusly: since “sukkha” (I believe that’s the term, I’m going off memory here) is translated as “wheel,” “dukkha” could be interpreted as that one annoying grocery cart wheel that either squeaks, squeals, gets stuck or doesn’t turn properly. I find this a more satisfying translation since suffering doesn’t exactly describe what happens during happy moments - you know, when you’re expecting a certain level of happiness from an event or an achievement but it doesn’t quite fully satisfy you? almost like that cloyingly grittiness you get when you taste something slightly too sweet
Most of that comes from the images he saw of the war growing up I think.
Well depending on who you ask, they'll probably tell you it's a nightmare.
Zdzisław Beksiński is my favourite artist! I am very impressed with how much effort each of your videos is produced. Thank you so much!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it :)
You might wanna check out artur kordas his art style is very reminiscent of beksinski altho not quite as abstract.

I recommend a guy called "Alexandr Kumpan".
Wielkie gówno xD
If Art is about expression then Beskinski could have been expressing himself in a way that words simply couldn't.
Totally! That’s the conclusion I came to as well :)
@@TheArtTourist Another thing is that I feel like Beskinski was at least in some way traumatized by the war and atrocities that happened in his youth hence the rather destructive and broken look his paintings have.
when an artist follows the truth of their vision the art falls outside of trends
Sometimes ignoring all cultural opinions allows the artist to generate inwards and trust themself.
And then it has meaning.
Yes…and I Love it
I like to think Beksinski's rejection of symbolism is similar to Tolkien's rejection of allegory in his own work.

Big mistake right there.
Yeah, ok.
Damn you would have sold those for real good money

JUST NOW CAME ACROSS THIS CHANNEL! MY GOODNESS! WHAT A GEM! THANK YOU 💕⚘
Beksinski's death corresponds with his art as well. Such dark artist couldn't just die in his bed during sleep. What kind of life, such a death.
'His art speaks volumes, with an acid tongue.' Beautiful sentence to end a wonderful video!
Really enjoyed this. He is my favorite artist along with H.R. Giger, M.C. Escher, Gustave Dore, Albrecht Durer, and Salvador Dali. I could sit and stare at their works for hours wandering the corridors of their minds.
You go ahead and add Basquiat to that list and that's my list too!!

Caelid is an explorable Beksinki painting, props to the art design team, their work was amazing all through the game
Games like Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls all do remind me of artists like Ian Miller and Beskinski.

it's been on my steam wishlist for a while
Elder ring is clearly heavily influenced by his work...I'm amazed the dev didn't credit him, some areas could be copy pasted.
I personally think Scorn is more inspired by HR. Geiger. Where as dark wood us more inspired by Beksinski.
His name is H. R. Giger - Hans Geiger was the co-inventor (along with Walther Müller) of the radiation counter.
Yes, Scorn borrows a lot. It allows feels very Cronenberg. Ex. EXISTENZ
I did a school presentation on him once, and just looking at his artworks and comparing it with his life was amazing
Why do I find his art calming? There's a sort of serenity in just accepting the hellscape. Going off what I saw in the video alone, the isolated figures in the infinite landscapes makes the horror feel contained without undermining, and still acknowledging its disturbing power. I dunno if that makes sense, but that's how it makes me feel. Reminds me a lot of Dark Souls.
Thank You 💚 Greetings from Poland 🍀
Greetings from New York!
I'm a painter, Beksinski is my favorite modern painter. I think he is the best, truly.
He is someone that genuinely changed alot of my art! His beautiful use of color and just almost consuming art.
Amazing work! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for watching!!

Two hours for few hundred paintings? Almost as surrealistic, as his paintings ;)
or, you know, YOU could go do it.
@@kofeiNn few hundred? he made thousands, he painted everyday for 40+ years
@@motorlife7037 yeah you're right, but it would be really hard, if not impossible to find scans and photos of all of his paintings to create such a video
The atmosphere in his art is something to be hold!

It's strange that this video just got randomly recommended to me but i am glad to finally learn about this guy and know who makes this stuff that strikes such a cord.
The bigger problem with his art is: It's too good for private place inside home, but too scary for living room. But it is still the great art!
Great point ☝️
Great as always. Thanks for the subtitle. That made it much more easy to follow the content!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Another fantastic video! Admittedly was surprised to see Beksiński here, but also am happy to see him. Always love seeing more videos on this guy.
Thank you! Definitely a slight deviation from our norm, but absolutely worth discussing all the same!
I really like his paintings. I dont know how to paint but i felt something looking on those masterpiece. The feeling that i am inside of it manisfesting the suffering and horror of the reality.
