The strangest paintings of artists. The School of Athens, Raphael

In this article, I would like to talk about people who express themselves in very interesting ways, which shocks people and makes them think: “How? How do they do it? Below I have compiled the Top 10, in my opinion, the most unusual artists of our time.

10 Bruce Munro

Bruce Munro is known for his unusual installations. In his work he works with light. And now, an installation of another field of light has recently opened in the English city of Bath. It is a field dotted with lamps on thin plastic stems. Looks like a set for the movie Avatar.

9. Jason Mecier
The problem of drug addiction is acute all over the world. In an attempt to draw the attention of the general public to her, the talented American artist Jason Mecier made portraits of stars from pills. The most interesting thing is that the artist used only tablets as a material for his canvases, which are released according to a special prescription, which he could not legally get. It can be said that Jason committed an illegal act, but by doing so he drew attention to the illegal distribution of drugs.

8. Vhils artist
His works are unusual in that he carves them into old plaster.

7. Jennifer Maestre
This girl became famous for her unusual sculptures. Their unusualness lies in the fact that they are made of pencils! Of course, they do not shine with forms, but the understanding that all these pencils are truly surprising.

6. Miguel Endara
Spanish artist Miguel Endara could deserve the title of the most assiduous person in the world! He makes his works in the technique of pointillism, composes masterpieces from ink dots. This drawing took a total of 3.2 million points and 210 hours.

5. Jim Denevan
Someone builds castles in the sand, and Jim Denevan loves to draw unprecedented patterns on it, moreover, with mathematical precision. Jim Denevan is 44 years old. He is a surfer, sand artist and self-taught chef. Jim paints mostly on the beaches, but recently he has started to paint in the desert as well. “I don't have as much time on the beach as I do in the deserts,” he says. “The ocean washes everything away very quickly.” When asked how he manages to draw such perfect circles, Jim replies that it is a matter of practice: “I have drawn thousands of circles in my life. In the desert I somehow
drew a circle with a diameter of 6 km.

4. Mike Stillkey

The artist works in Alta Dena, California. Mike Stilkey creates art out of book spines. He builds a whole wall of books, and writes his pictures on their spines. Mike dreamed for a long time to publish an album with his paintings, but not a single publisher undertook this. His painting did not find a response among critics. Then the artist decided to let the books tell about his work. Soon Mike Stilke's book paintings were noticed and he gained fame as an artist. Now Mike is eagerly invited by many prestigious galleries.

3. Claire Morgan
British artist Claire Morgan creates unusual installations that freeze right in the air. The working material for the artist are dry plants, grains, insects, stuffed animals and fresh fruits. Thousands of details of the installation are fixed on a thin fishing line with jeweler's precision. Air sculptures by Claire Morgan are dedicated to the Earth and all living things living on it.

2. Nina Aoyama
A girl living in France is following a very interesting path. Yes! She cuts out of paper, but how! Tell me, what can any kindergartener cut out? But look. Nina cuts out texts and drawings from paper, which she sticks on fabric or glass, and it turns out such beauty.

1 Lorenzo Duran

He gathers the leaves, washes them, dries them, presses them, and carefully carves his paintings on them. His technique is based on historical studies of paper cutting in China, Japan, Germany and Switzerland.

Art can be anything. Someone sees the beauty of nature and conveys it with a brush or a cutter, someone takes amazing photographs of the human body, and someone finds beauty in a terrible one - Caravaggio and Edvard Munch worked in this style. Modern artists are not far behind the founding fathers.

1. Dado

Yugoslav Dado was born in 1933 and died in 2010. At first glance, his work may seem completely ordinary or even pleasant - this is due to the choice of colors: many horror artists choose black or red, and Dado liked pastel shades.

But look closely at pictures like Big Farm in 1963 or Football Player in 1964 and you'll see grotesque creatures in them. Their faces are full of pain or suffering, tumors or extra organs are visible on their bodies, or bodies are simply irregular in shape. In fact, pictures like "Big Farm" are much more frightening than sheer horror - precisely because at first glance you do not notice anything terrible in them.

2. Keith Thompson

Keith Thompson is more of a commercial artist than a person of art. He designed the monsters for Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim and Scott Westerfield's Leviathan. His work is done in a technique you'd rather see on Magic: The Gathering cards than in a museum.

Look at his painting "The Creature from Pripyat": the monster is made of several animals and is terribly ugly, but it gives a great idea of ​​Thompson's technique. The monster even has a story - it is supposedly a product of the Chernobyl disaster. Of course, the monster is somewhat contrived, as if it came straight out of the 1950s, but this does not make it any less creepy.

The SCP Foundation adopted this creature as their mascot, naming it "SCP-682". But in the arsenal of Thompson there are still many such monsters, and there are more terrible ones.

3. Junji Ito

On the subject of commercial artists: some of them draw comics. In the horror comic business, Junji Ito is the champion. His monsters are not just grotesque: the artist carefully draws every wrinkle, every crease on the body of creatures. This is what scares people, and not the irrationality of monsters.

For example, in his comic "The Riddle of Amigar Fault" he undresses people and sends them into a humanoid hole in solid rock - the closer we see this hole, the scarier, but even "from a distance" it seems frightening.

In his Uzumaki (Spiral) comic book series, there is a guy obsessed with spirals. At first, his obsession seems funny, and then scary. Moreover, it becomes scary even before the hero's obsession becomes magic, with the help of which he turns a person into something inhuman, but at the same time alive.

Ito's work stands out among all Japanese manga - his "normal" characters look unusually realistic and even cute, and the monsters seem even more creepy against their background.

4. Zdzisław Beksiński

If an artist says, "I can't imagine what sanity means in painting," he's most likely not painting kittens.

Polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński was born in 1929. For decades, he created nightmare images in the genre of fantastic realism until his horrific death in 2005 (he was stabbed 17 times). The most fruitful period in his work fell on the years 1960 - 1980: then he created highly detailed images, which he himself called "photographs of his dreams."

According to Beksiński, he did not care about the meaning of this or that painting, but some of his works clearly symbolize something. For example, in 1985 he created the painting "Trollforgatok". The artist grew up in a country devastated by the Second World War, so the black figures in the picture can personify Polish citizens, and the head can be a kind of ruthless authority.

The artist himself claimed that he had nothing of the kind in mind. In fact, Beksinsky said about this picture that it should be taken as a joke - that's what really black humor means.

5. Wayne Barlow

Thousands of artists have tried to portray Hell, but Wayne Barlow has clearly succeeded in this. Even if you have not heard his name, you have probably seen the work. He has been involved in such films as James Cameron's Avatar (the director personally praised him), Pacific Rim, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But one of his most outstanding works can be called a book published in 1998 called "Inferno".

Hell for him is not just dungeons with demonic lords and armies. Barlow said: "Hell is complete indifference to human suffering." His demons often show interest in human bodies and souls and behave more like experimenters - they ignore other people's pain. People for his demons are not objects of hatred at all, but simply a means for idle entertainment, nothing more.

6. Tetsuya Ishida

In acrylic paintings by Isis, people are often transformed into objects such as packaging, conveyor belts, urinals, or even hemorrhoid pillows. He also has visually pleasing paintings in which people merge with nature or escape into the magical land of their imagination. But such works are much dimmer than paintings in which restaurant workers turn into dummies pumping food into customers as if they were servicing cars at a gas station.

Regardless of the opinion about the accuracy and insight of the artist or the vividness of his metaphors, it cannot be denied that the style of his work is eerie. Any humor in Isis goes hand in hand with disgust and fear. His career came to an end in 2005 when 31-year-old Ishida was hit by a train, almost certainly a suicide. His works are valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

7. Dariusz Zawadzki

Zavadsky was born in 1958. Like Beksiński, he works in the style of creepy fantastical realism. His teachers at the art school told Zavadsky that he did not have very good eyesight and a poor eye, so he could not become an artist. Well, they obviously jumped to conclusions.

There are elements of steampunk in Zavadsky's works: he often draws creatures similar to robots, under the artificial skin of which working mechanisms are visible. For example, take a look at the 2007 oil painting "The Nest". The poses of the birds are the same as those of the living, but the frame is clearly metallic, barely covered with shreds of skin. The picture may cause disgust, but at the same time it attracts the eye - I want to consider all the details.

8. Joshua Hoffin

Joshua Hoffin was born in 1973 in Emporia, Kansas. He takes terrifying photographs, in which fairy tales familiar from childhood take on terrible features - the story, of course, can be recognized, but at the same time its meaning is greatly distorted.

Many of his works look too staged and unnatural to really scare. But there are also series of photographs like "Pickman's Masterpieces" - this is a tribute to one of Lovecraft's characters, the artist Pickman.

In the photos from 2008, which you can see here, is his daughter Chloe. The girl's face almost does not express emotions, and she almost does not look towards the audience. The contrast is frightening: a family photo on the bedside table, a girl in pink pajamas - and huge cockroaches.

9. Patricia Piccinini

Piccinini's sculptures are sometimes very different from each other: some sculptures are irregularly shaped motorcycles, others are strange balloons with hot air. But mostly she creates sculptures that are very, very uncomfortable to stand in the same room with. They even look creepy in photos.

In the 2004 work Indivisible, a humanoid is pressed against the back of a normal human child. Most disturbing is the element of trust and affection - as if the innocence of the child was cruelly used to harm him.

Of course, Piccinini's work is criticized. They even said about the "Indivisible" that it was not a sculpture, but some kind of real animal. But no - it's just a figment of her imagination, and the artist continues to create her work from fiberglass, silicone, and hair.

10. Mark Powell

The work of the Australian Mark Powell is really shocking. His 2012 show is a series of compositions in which fantastic creatures evolve, devour and excrete each other from their own bodies, multiply and decay. The textures of the creatures and environments are extremely convincing, and the body language of the figures is precisely chosen to make the situations look as ordinary as possible - and therefore convincing.

Of course, the Internet could not fail to pay tribute to the artist. The aforementioned "SCP Foundation" took the hideous monster from the image above and made it part of a story called "The Flesh That Hates". There are also many horror stories associated with his work.

Man is constantly drawn to creativity. People have been drawing since prehistoric times, depicting figures of animals and gods on the rocks. Today we have the opportunity to admire the paintings of the most talented artists that civilization has given rise to.

Some of them skillfully convey the play of light or water, someone pays attention to details, and someone's paintings just give a mood. But people are looking for and find the opportunity to create paintings not only with a brush. There are many amazing artists in the world who use unusual techniques in their work.

A person who writes with a penis. Australian Tim Patch has his brush always at hand. After all, this is his penis. The artist jokingly calls himself Pricasso. There is no doubt that the great artist would have approved such a pseudonym, because Picasso also adored shocking experiments. To decorate the background of the painting, Pricasso uses his ass. After all, drawing with the main tool would take quite a lot of time. Paintings written with a penis constantly appear at various sex exhibitions. At the same time, the artist himself clearly shows visitors how he creates his paintings. The funny thing is that the canvases come out really good, given the unusual tool for creating them.

An artist using vomit. Artist Millie Brown creates what some people boldly call art. The woman drinks the dyed milk and then regurgitates the liquid back onto the white canvas or even onto her dress. She mastered the art of regurgitation, thanks to which she learned to push out the contents of her stomach with the help of muscles. This talent allows Brown to create examples of contemporary art. It would seem, what is so difficult? Drink, yes spewing liquid on the canvas. Meanwhile, Brown's abstract paintings are worth thousands of dollars. The most famous painting, Nexis Vomitus, was created with acoustic accompaniment by two opera singers. This painting is worth $2,400 and it is easy to find a video of the creation of the canvas on the Internet. Only now, viewing this painting technique can in itself cause unpleasant urges.

Basketball drawing. Chinese Hong Yu decided to create a portrait of her idol, basketball player Yao Ming. He recently ended his stellar career with the Houston Rockets. But what is the best way to draw a basketball player? Of course, the ball! The girl loves drawing, but chooses unusual objects to embody her talent. This time, her brush was a basketball. She dipped it into the paint and left marks on the canvas. Gradually, the image of the famous player appeared on paper. A video about such an unusual technique received more than 400 thousand views on YouTube. The artist herself was born and raised in Borneo, lived in Australia and Holland, and now lives in Shanghai.

Human blood as paint. Vinicius Quesada lives in Brazil. He calls himself a personal artist. Quesada loves to shock with his paintings. He created an unusual series called Blues Written in Blood. Unusual is that these paintings are painted with human blood and urine. In the apocalyptic paintings of the Brazilian, you can see domineering geishas, ​​monkeys smoking cigarettes and other unusual images. For his paintings, Quesada uses three colors - red, yellow and blue. Most of all in the paintings it is red, but for it the artist’s own blood is used. True, he can only allocate about 450 milliliters for this every 2 months. Quesada fundamentally does not use someone else's blood, not wanting to harm anyone.

Underwater art. A whole group of Ukrainian artists create their canvases underwater. To do this, they dive with scuba gear into the waters of the Black Sea. There they have about 40 minutes for creative work. During this time, they manage to put paint on canvases under very difficult conditions. As a result, the paintings are almost the same as those painted in natural conditions. True, before starting to paint, creative divers cover their canvases with waterproof glue. Artists work at depths from 2 to 20 meters. They say that the light in the water scatters and falls on rocks and corals. As a result, the underwater world looks so beautiful that it inspires creativity. The human eye is better able to capture this beauty than a camera. But artists need to take into account that colors are lost with depth. So the brown color applied under water on the canvas can turn red on the surface.

Breast painting. American artist Kira Ain Varzeji paints her paintings with 38DD breasts. The technique in this case is not as original as the instrument itself. Kira simply dunks her breasts in oil paint and then presses them against the canvas. In the process of drawing, this is repeated over and over again, just different color combinations are used. Drawing continues until the artist likes her work. Kira claims that the secret of the popularity of her paintings lies in the special mixing of colors. True, it is still worth thanking the nature that gave such a gorgeous chest. The artist says that the purpose of her work is the emotions of her viewers, as well as bringing living spaces into a beautiful view. Yes, and such pictures always make people smile. To achieve such goals, Kira has learned to use various tools - from a variety of brushes to toys, vegetables and various parts of the body. Those who find these paintings funny should tell you that Kira is a recognized artist. Most of her work is sold on eBay, where each work is valued at hundreds of dollars. Kira claims that her paintings have spread all over the world. In every American state you can find such unusually created works.

An artist who paints with his tongue. They say that artists must suffer for their art. As a result, they are forced to dress in dirty linen, and it is not at all clear what to eat. But Ani Kay surpassed all martyr artists. The fact is that he paints his paintings in his own language. The consequence of this are concomitant persistent headaches, cramps and nausea. When Ani decided to paint in an unusual way, he first chose his nose as a tool. But it turned out that this method had already been tested by other artists. The first attempts to use the tongue resulted in severe pain in the head and body due to sharp fumes from the paint. This art teacher was able to create 20 watercolor paintings already. His pride was the canvas 2.5 meters wide, copying the "Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci. This painting took 5 months to complete. An artist is building a gallery in his home in Kerala, India. The body is already accustomed to the unusual technique, and now the work on the painting takes about 4 days.

Drawing dead ants. For the painting "Portrait with a gun" artist Chris Truman used an unusual medium. The author created his work with the help of dead ants. He immediately needed 200 thousand of these hardworking insects. The result was a painting in brown tones, which depicted Truman's little brother with a rifle in his hands. Oddly enough, but the artist said that his work is the fruit of love. It was this conflicting feeling that he experienced when he killed the ants necessary for the picture. For the sake of art, Truman had to do what he hated. As a result, the picture became not only an object of painting, but also the embodiment of the genocide of ants. Its owner will undoubtedly stand out in modern society. And the estimated cost of the painting is 35 thousand dollars.

An artist using his own eyes. This strange method was mastered by Xiang Chen from the Chinese province of Hunan. This artist and calligraphy artist has learned to hold long, meter-long brushes under his eyelid. It is there that he introduces the metal end of the drawing tool. As a result, he writes and draws with his eye. Chen revealed his unusual abilities when he was 16 years old. One day he came home from a construction site and found that both of his eyes were clogged with sand. But he himself from this did not feel any pain or discomfort. Chen tried to poke his eye, but all he felt was a slight itch. A Chinese man uses his eyes not only for drawing, but also for playing the piano. Interestingly, doctors state that his organs of vision are no different from ordinary ones.

An artist who paints with human ashes. Many artists use the help of friends or family members to create their canvases. But only a few use close people as material for their paintings. Ethical canons literally blew up Val Thompson. She mixes the ashes left after the cremation of people with paints. Thus, its unusual ingredient adds texture to the canvas. These unique paintings allowed the artist to make a good career. And her own brother suggested that she do such creativity. The first painting of Val was created for Anna Kiri, who had recently lost her husband John. His ashes went to create a canvas with a picturesque beach. The customer liked the result so much that Val created three more similar paintings, and then even opened her own unique business, Ashes for Art.

Among the peaceful pastorals, noble portraits and other works of art that evoke only positive emotions, there are strange and shocking canvases. We have collected 15 pictures that make the audience horrified. Moreover, all of them belong to the brushes of world famous artists.

"Guernica"

One of the most famous works of Pablo Picasso "Guernica" is a story about the tragedy of war and the suffering of innocent people. This work received worldwide recognition and became a reminder of the horrors of war.

"Losing mind over matter"

Losing Mind Before Matter is a 1973 painting by the Austrian artist Otto Rapp. He depicted a decomposing human head, put on a bird cage, in which lies a piece of flesh.

"Dante and Virgil in Hell"

Adolphe William Bouguereau's painting Dante and Virgil in Hell was inspired by a short scene about a battle between two damned souls from Dante's Inferno.

"Suspended living Negro"

This gruesome creation by William Blake depicts a Negro slave who was hung from the gallows with a hook threaded through his ribs. The work is based on the story of the Dutch soldier Steadman - an eyewitness to such a cruel massacre.

"Hell"

The painting "Hell" by the German artist Hans Memling, written in 1485, is one of the most terrible artistic creations of its time. She was supposed to push people towards virtue. Memling heightened the scene's horrifying effect by adding the caption, "There is no redemption in hell."

water spirit

The artist Alfred Kubin is considered the largest representative of Symbolism and Expressionism and is known for his dark symbolic fantasies. "The Spirit of Water" is one of such works, depicting the impotence of man in the face of the sea.

"Necronom IV"

This scary creation by renowned artist Hans Rudolf Giger was inspired by the famous movie Alien. Giger suffered from nightmares and all his paintings were inspired by these visions.

"Flaying Marsyas"

Created by the Italian Renaissance artist Titian, The Flaying of Marsyas is currently in the National Museum in Kroměříž in the Czech Republic. The artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology where the satyr Marsyas is flayed for daring to challenge the god Apollo.

"Scream"

The Scream is the most famous painting by the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch. The picture depicts a desperately screaming man against the background of a blood-colored sky. It is known that "The Scream" was inspired by a serene evening walk, during which Munch witnessed the blood-red setting sun.

"Gallowgate Lard"

This painting is nothing more than a self-portrait by Scottish author Ken Currie, who specializes in dark, socially realistic paintings. Currie's favorite theme is the bleak urban life of the Scottish working class.

"Saturn Devouring His Son"

One of the most famous and sinister works of the Spanish artist Francisco Goya was painted on his house wall in 1820 - 1823. "Saturn devouring his son" is based on the Greek myth of the titan Chronos (in Rome - Saturn), who feared that he would be overthrown by one of his children and ate them immediately after birth.

"Judith Killing Holofernes"

The execution of Holofernes was portrayed by such great artists as Donatello, Sandro Botticelli, Giorgione, Gentileschi, Lucas Cranach the Elder and many others. The painting by Caravaggio, painted in 1599, depicts the most dramatic moment of this story - the decapitation.

"Nightmare"

The painting The Nightmare by the Swiss painter Heinrich Fuseli was first shown at the annual exhibition of the Royal Academy in London in 1782, where it shocked both visitors and critics.

"Massacre of the innocents"

This outstanding work of art by Peter Paul Rubens, consisting of two paintings, was created in 1612, believed to have been influenced by the work of the famous Italian painter Caravaggio.

If the paintings seemed too gloomy to hang them at home, you can use one of them.

Man has been drawn to creativity since time immemorial. Starting with rock paintings of mammoths and gods, painted clay vessels, wall frescoes, ending with masterpieces of modern art that we have the opportunity to admire every day. All painters, in search of the extraordinary, try to bring something unique and diverse to the style. Someone pays attention to the smallest details, someone is looking for new shades and plots, but there a number of unusual artists who decided to surprise the world not only with a brush.

An artist who paints rain

A few years ago, 30-year-old avant-garde artist Leandro Granato became a real treasure in Argentina. The artist invented a rather unusual technique for applying paint to canvas - through the lacrimal canal. Since childhood, the guy knew how to draw water into his nose and immediately squirt it out through his eyes.

When inspiration ran out of resources, Leandro decided to try just such a drawing technique. And I didn't guess. His paintings cost from $2,000 and sell out extremely quickly. Interestingly, in order to create one such picture, Granato uses 800 ml of paint for each eye socket. The Argentine even developed a special harmless paint for the eyes, which, according to doctors, does not affect the artist's health in any way.

Two fingers in the mouth and everything will pass

Millie Brown has been living under the motto "any art has a right to exist" for many years. And all because the way the artist paints the paintings does not fit into the accepted framework at all.

The girl, no matter how ugly it may sound, draws with vomit. Millie swallows soy tinted milk at special intervals and then makes herself sick. The paint naturally comes out, creating "special patterns". Oddly enough, the artist's robots are gaining more and more popularity, and among her devoted fans you can even meet Miss Outrageous herself - Lady Gaga.

Paintings with breasts of the fourth size

Extravagance also became famous for the American mistress Kira Ein Vayzerdzhi. Her prominent breasts help her create canvases for at least $ 1,000 each. The girl became an innovator in this technique and already has dozens of followers around the world. Kira herself explains such a strange approach to painting by the fact that the chest allows you to apply paint from completely different angles and more easily brings all the ideas of the artist to life.

"Penis Art"

Another master who uses his body as a tool for painting and earning money is the Australian Tim Patch. The brush for the outrageous artist is his dignity. Tim himself, without too much modesty, asks to call him "Pricasso" (from the English "prick" - "dick") and positions his work as the first "penis art" in history. In addition to the application technique, the Australian became famous for the fact that during work he only wears a bowler hat of a necessarily silver or pink color.

Nigerian heritage and elephant dung

The English creator Chris Ofili is one of the brightest admirers of Nigerian culture. All his paintings are downright saturated with the spirit of Africa, Nigerian culture, sex and elephant excrement. Instead of paint, Ofili uses manure. Of course, in order to avoid smells, flies and damaged paintings, the raw materials undergo a special chemical treatment, but the fact remains.

"Blues Written in Blood"

The Brazilian painter Vinicius Quesada went even further and shocked the public with a collection of paintings called Blues Written in Blood. The latter, in the truest sense of the word. To create these masterpieces, the artist needed three colors: red, yellow and blue. The first author decided to extract from his own veins.

Every two months, Quesada goes to the hospital, where doctors take 480 milliliters of blood from him to create masterpieces. When fans offer their blood to the genius instead of paint, he sends them to blood collection points for the sick, as he believes that donation is more important than art.

underwater art

Oleg Nebesny from Kiev is one of the few artists in the world who decided to combine his two favorite hobbies: diving and drawing. Oleg draws pictures at a depth of 2 to 20 meters and explains this by the fact that only the eye and only a moment can catch all the beauty of the underwater world. The artist takes only 40 minutes to create his works. Before starting, waterproof glue is applied to the canvas (so the paint is not washed off the canvas). Among other things, the colors at depth seem quite different. And brown on the surface can even become scarlet.

Ashes and painting

Val Thompson stepped over all moral taboos. A woman paints beautiful canvases, adding the ashes of cremated people to the paint. Her paintings are sold by the thousands, and customers leave rave reviews on websites. The first robot Val was created for Anna Kiri's neighbor after the death of her husband John. The canvas depicted a deserted paradise beach, on which John most of all liked to spend time. The picture made such a splash that Val even opened her own company, Ashes for Art.

Paintings with soul and body

What we consider a real misfortune, Alison Cortson managed to use as a material for her work. 38-year-old American draws her paintings with the most ordinary dust. Interestingly, Alison collects material from vacuum cleaners, shelves and closets of the customers themselves. The artist says that she chose such a strange material due to the fact that house dust consists of 70% of the skin of the inhabitants of the house. Therefore, we can safely say that her paintings are not only with the soul, but also with the body.

Works of menstrual art

We ask strongly impressionable readers to skip the last point of our digression into non-traditional art. Hawaiian artist Lani Beloso suffers from menorrhagia, a common ailment among women, in other words, heavy menstruation, and decided to use this phenomenon in her pictures. How she came to this is unknown. At first, the "artist" simply sat down over the canvas, and the blood itself painted certain images. Later, Lani began to collect material every month and draw pictures from it. So the girl created 13 paintings in chronological order, as if showing the society how much blood she loses in a year.

The worst thing is that this is not the whole list of people who have decided to deviate from the accepted canons. So if you are suddenly an artist and decide to contribute to the development of art, I'm afraid you will have a hard time looking for original ideas.
