I Think You Should Know

about Gottfried Helnwein.

all I have to say -- genius. He work is amazing. Actually, amazing is an understatement. His use of color and the symbolism present in is work is untouchable.

Helnwein's subject matter is the human condition. The metaphor for his art is dominated by the image of the child, but not the carefree innocent child of popular imagination. Helnwein instead creates the profoundly disturbing yet compellingly provocative image of the wounded child. The child scarred physically and the child scarred emotionally from within.
