Do not think that all artists and designers are interested in flowers, knitting, landscapes, painting, photography … Some are fond of completely different subjects: skulls (and not glamorous), bones, claws. In a word, mysticism. Well, this is also art.
Someone may think that the person who creates such works is not all right with his head. You can't be so much interested in all this darkness and blackness, and devoting so much time to this work, you can just go crazy. However, it is not. Jason Soles is a self-taught sculptor who has always had an interest in the visual arts. He graduated from Evergreen State College in 1996 and focused on film making and screenwriting. Then in 1999 he founded Catalyst Studios with fellow designer Ann Koi.
His first film, released after he graduated from high school, was named The Resurrectionist, which can be translated as The Resurrectionist. This is a thirty-minute black and white horror film about the life and burial of a robber.
Recently, the sculptor has been improving his craft, although, it would seem, is it better? His sculptures seem so real that at one glance at the photographs it becomes scary. In his works, he expresses his emotions, conveying them to exhibits that seem to be alive. And it's good that they are not. After all, no one wants to run into a banshee, a skeleton, or a winged monster in a museum? Although it should be said that many of the sculptor's works were sold to private individuals. I'm even afraid to imagine that there would be such a miracle at home … But some people like these sculptures.
However, such activity could not help but influence the psyche. At the moment, the sculptor lives in a dilapidated attic of a house in Seattle, Washington. He is an extremely secretive person who values his solitude, and also has no interest in writing his autobiography. Well, that's who he is, Jason Soles.

Dark art. "Dark Art" by illustrator Erlend Mork
Norwegian artist, photographer, illustrator Erlend Mork is a master of frankly gloomy, if not suicidal paintings.

Simply put, his paintings are an attempt to imagine what is going on in the head of a mentally ill person who is forced to live in isolation from the world
