Surely many are familiar with decorations and paintings in the form of black silhouettes, made in the Victorian style. Primordial ladies in caps and fluffy skirts, meek girls with high hairstyles and long dresses, obedient children, sedate gentlemen - they all live their lives somewhere out there, in their time … Or, in our case, they die a violent death from the hands of one's neighbor, or, in some cases, from one's own hand. "Funny", and most importantly "kind" illustrations from the series Kilhouettes - the work of an artist named John Fair.
Poison, detonator, sword or dagger, ax or ax, pistol or rifle, dismemberment or strangulation - these pictures contain so many ways of depriving a person's life that one might get the impression that their author is an experienced killer or a forensic scientist … But no, just an artist with good imagination, rich imagination and a specific sense of humor.
Silhouettes from Kilhouettes can decorate medallions and bracelets, earrings and necklaces, or even act as paintings, tapestries, postcards. As creative as they are dark, as unusual as they are hard-hearted, they cannot leave anyone indifferent. Even those who prefer bright colors, good fairy tales and photographs of flowers and kittens will not be able to pass by: they will definitely express their "fairy", and this "fairy" will be truly loud.
For those who liked the "good" pictures about murders, it will be interesting to look at the site, where all the Killhouettes are collected. Yes, yes, it is there that ideas for new murders live - in the form of the gloomy silhouettes of the artist John Fair.
