I also discovered the artist Gottfried Helnwein after a period of browsing random images uploaded to Livejournal. He's absolutely brilliant though, sadly, none of his best art seems to be available as posters or prints. ...

Taiturimaisen nerokkaasta piirtäjästä kuin myös lumoavasta kirjailijasta.
"Jumalan ilon" tyttärestä (minua saksankielessä valistuneempi kämppikseni kertoi juuri aamulla minun ollessani enemmän kuin tohkeissani, liki täristen, kaikesta mikä oli järkyttänyt maailmaani tänä aamuna... hän kertoi, että Gottfried tarkoittaa Jumalan iloa). Helnweinin tytär, hän jonka taiteeseen hullaannuin heti kun löysin hänet löysi minut ja kiitti minua vaikka juuri minun on pitänyt useasti kirjoittaa hänelle ja kiittää häntä vain sen vuoksi, että hän on olemassa.
Eryneiojen eripura pyyhkiytyy pois hänen suloisen katseensa myötä ja tunnen Afroditeen sulohenkäyksen nostattavan minut jälleen kerran johonkin korkeammalle. Mercedes Helnwein. Rakkaus. ...

In one Gottfried Helnwein painting, a child sits slumped at the foot of her bed, her expression strangely blank given the other figure in the bare room — a ghostly, uniformed bunny standing at attention like something out of a nightmarish Nutcracker (or, given the rabbit’s creepy saucer-wide eyes, Donnie Darko). In another, the girl dozes as a Mad Hatter–ish beast, outfitted entirely in yellow, reaches out to scoop her up. Although children wounded both physically and psychologically have appeared in Helnwein's work since the early '70s - earning him no small measure of controversy.. ...

C’est un nom important de la création contemporaine. J’aime certaines de ses images, mais le plus souvent, son style récent qui mélange Gothique, médical, horreur et imagerie d’enfants ne me parle pas trop.
Non, ce qui est le plus étrange chez lui, c’est l’artiste lui-même. Il est assez mégalo (il n’a pas 1 mais 22 sites web !). Il a une très longue carrière derrière lui Et il n’est pas très représentatif de l’artiste maudit vivant dans un squat, regardez son « studio ». ...

Instead, his wedding to girlfriend Dita Von Teese was a fairytale set in an Irish castle - although he couldn't resist wearing black. Some 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley, attended the bash at Castle Gurteen in County Tipperary - home of the Mansons' friend, artist Gottfried Helnwein. Marilyn wore a John Galliano-designed black silk taffeta tux, and Dita a purple taffeta Vivienne Westwood gown with train, petticoats, a tricorn hat and a corset - what else from a burlesque performer? ...
