Chet Zar - "The Pink Scream" Painting Original Art (2007)....

Description

Chet Zar - "The Pink Scream" Painting Original Art (2007). A spectral figure emerges from a murky void, its flesh rippling like emotional strata carved into form. Vacant eyes and a collapsed mouth suggest a scream swallowed by silence. Rendered in bruised pinks and shadowed tones, The Pink Scream channels quiet anguish through Chet Zar's haunting surrealism. Exhibited widely within the dark art scene, Zar's work continues the legacy of visionary dread, drawing influence from Beksinski, Giger, and the personal abyss to evoke horror that is intimate, meditative, and unforgettable. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Oil on canvas with an image area of 24" x 30". Exhibits light handling. Unexamined out of frame. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.

"Chet Zar's work on special make-up FX and his collaborations with the band Tool and many other artists in the LA scene has made him a long-time favorite of mine. I think his style is instantly recognizable, and this is one of his, in my opinion, top 10 surreal masterworks. An homage to Munch, it is both eerie and compelling. It has a sinuous, almost sensual feel, and for decades it adorned one of my main walls in Bleak House." From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
