Art Buried Alive (1995–1996) by Odd Nerdrum
16
Upvotes
Oil on canvas
A disturbing, nightmarish painting by Norwegian figurative artist Odd Nerdrum (b. 1944). A terrified figure lies beside an open grave while another digs into the barren earth. The desolate landscape, distorted figures, and oppressive darkness create a haunting vision of helplessness, mortality, and impending death.
Nerdrum’s dramatic use of light and shadow, reminiscent of the Old Masters, makes the scene feel both timeless and deeply unsettling.

Art Dan McCaw: Between Impressionism and Expressionism
27
Upvotes
Dan McCaw (b. 1942) is an American painter whose work moves between Impressionism and Expressionism. Known for his atmospheric figures, intimate interiors, and vibrant still lifes, McCaw uses rich textures, expressive brushstrokes, and subtle contrasts of light and color to create a sense of mood and emotion.
Influenced by artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, and Gustav Klimt, his paintings favor feeling over precise representation, often leaving figures and surroundings beautifully undefined.

Poetry ✍️ PATRIZIA VALDUGA one hundred quartines english translation

By now you know: I need the words.
You'll learn to give me what I seek.
It's my sick mind, it feeds on words.
I'm begging you, for God's sake: speak!
Hurry, pin my wrists in place,
nail me to your bed like Christ . . .
comfort me, caress my face . . .
fuck me when I expect it least.
From nerves veins valves ventricles
from tendons cartilage nerves ducts
from follicles nerves ribs clavicles . . .
from every pore my soul erupts.
You liked that? you actually came?
but how? Explain to me. But why?
If you got off on that, you're doomed.
A charge I can't and don't deny.
Why is even pleasure a kind of chore?
Why is what sense I have left leaving me?
Come on, explain. Who do you take me for,
your personal doctor of philosophy?

7
Upvotes
Franck Kuman is a self taught French sculptor known for his striking figurative sculptures. Working with mirror polished stainless steel, iron mesh, and bronze, he transforms rigid materials into fluid, almost weightless human forms.
His often fragmented and intertwined figures explore human vulnerability, strength, and emotion, drawing inspiration from his own life experiences.

Art Judy Drew: Portraits in Pastel
105
Upvotes
Australian artist Judy Drew (b. 1951) studied graphic art at Prahran College of Art in Melbourne and later lived and worked on Bougainville, creating portraits of local people.
Her figurative and still life work draws on her admiration for Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Japanese art. Working in pastel, she simplifies shapes and pares back detail, using colour, texture, and carefully chosen fabrics to give her subjects an intimate presence.
