Paintings: Zombiscapes


"Landscape (Day of the Dead, Street)" by George Pfau

George Pfau paints scenes from classic zombie films (and television series) in a style that draws heavily upon the impressionist and pointillist movements for inspiration.  The results is gorey art that's classy enough to be hanging in your dentist's office.  Try to identify the movie each painting portrays before you read the caption.
"The oil paint allows each figure to bleed into and intertwine with its surroundings. Each painting is accompanied by a high-resolution photograph in which these figures are magnified, emphasizing the blurry boundary that encircles each body. For me, the grotesque, oozing, blending qualities of oil paint are an apt medium for zombies and human bodies that are in-between, or out of control. The zombie film depicted is indicated in the title of each piece."
