NIGHTMARISH IMAGERY AND ABSURDISM

Beau White is an Australian hyperrealist and figurative oil painter who uses nightmarish imagery and absurdism to explore the darker side of the human condition: “I have been interested in illustrating absurd, grotesque and distastefully humorous images since primary school. There is nothing particularly philosophical about my art in the conceptual sense. There are themes and narratives that are relatively simple and obvious, with the main focus being on the ridiculous.
I don't have a grand vision or statement I want to make through art, I just want to draw and paint silliness and weirdness in various forms for my own gratification and anyone else with similar inclinations. In the doing, not the discussion that follows.”
