About the work of an extraordinary painter named Fionn McCabe we already once spoke on the pages of our site. His surreal abstractionism is both frightening and mesmerizing at the same time, like forest fires that bring destruction and death, but at the same time are so bright and picturesque that you can't take your eyes off. Surely such a fire will seem to many of you a kind of alphabet created by these Boston artists not for the sake of education and enlightenment, but due to some own considerations, which are very difficult for an ordinary person to guess.
As already mentioned, this alphabet, created by an unusual artist for unusual purposes, is not at all intended to be used to learn the alphabet. Even more - in no case should you show these pictures to children, well, in order to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings, unnecessary questions and other problems. But adults, endowed with humor, mostly black, and stocked up with a share of healthy cynicism, can properly consider the letter-drawings from Fionn McCabe.
True, most likely, no one will have a desire to look at the shocking alphabet of the Boston genius for the second time. But is this really what contemporary artists working in the genre of surrealist abstraction are striving to achieve? The main thing is to be remembered, to be talked about. And so far, Fionn McCabe is doing well.
