| Hi I'd like to recommend a new publication, it's addressed to people who are fascinated with new art and are open-minded. Some people would probably say that bloody, nightmarish or even ugly photos can't be considered as art, I don't agree, how about you?

Death’s imagination has undergone profound transformations over the last decades. The book addresses various parts of this new vision of death.
It contains a collection of works by international artists where numerous approaches to the death-motif in new art today are explored and revealed through different photographic techniques. We can find here surreal paintings, digital art, drawings, as well as various nightmarish and visionary photographs.

| I never looked at death being something that wasn't art. I believe art can take many forms.. death is a subject, or a symbol and vehicle of expression. Death is inevitable.. we all share common ideas or perhaps fears etc towards it, hence someone using death.. (a universal idea and subject) can create greater impact, relation, and strong/common reactions within their work

| | I play around with death as a tool in both my art and my writing. I've never looked at death as an art subject though. This looks interesting. |
