Je ne connaissais pas l’oeuvre de John Ruskin et suis surpris par l’importance de ses écrits et de ses travaux. J’ai été impressionné par le travail des Surréalistes en premier lieu, puis par des gens comme Hans Bellmer, Unica Zürn, Henri Michaux, Gabrielle Wittkop, Antonin Artaud, Sade, mais aussi par Giger, Helnwein et bien sûr Witkin. J’étais très curieux de cinéma expérimental et bizarre (Arrabal, Jodorowski, Bunuel et plus tard, Greeneway, entre autres...). Éliane m’a fait découvrir récemment des peintres Symbolistes qui ont sans doute indirectement influencé mon travail pour InHuman. ...

Gottfried Helnwein
Helnwein jest jednym z najbardziej twórczych współczesnych artystów. I mówię tak dlatego, ponieważ niemal co roku zaskakuje swoimi pracami w galeriach całego świata. A współczesny świat szybko zapomina, ale jakoś nigdy Gottfrieda Helnweina. Nie zamierzam dlatego skrócić jego bogatego życia do jednej strony czy dwóch. Chcę wam przybliżyć jego postać, opisać wydarzenia z jego życia, jak zaczynał, by dojść do tego kim jest dzisiaj. ...

"The Beautiful People" presents Manson as a ghostly, 13’- tall dictator in Fascist garb, flanked by equally tall obsidian angels as he rules over saluting citizens who gaze upon him with blank, hollow-eyed stares. Intercut with these shots are equally disturbing scenes of Manson strapped to a sadomasochistic orthodontic contraption that recalls the horrifically macabre milieus of Austrian painter Gottfried Helnwein ...

I checked again if I could come up with actual images, but I have only
come close. You'll see what I mean. :) First some tidbit: did you know
that in 1991, Gottfried Helnwein -- an Austrian Artist -- painted "48
