Artistic Influence: Gerald Brom

  I plan to start putting up weekly post about different artist and photographer who influence my art and photography.

"Peace" by Gerald Brom

 

I’m convinced that Gerald Brom was not born in the natural sense. I’m pretty sure he was created from the genetic material of Norman Rockwell and H.P. Lovecraft in some dark hidden ex-Nazi research bunker.

Brom’s paintings drip with the primordial essence of all things dark and horrible and at the same time often shine with an ethereal and mysterious beauty. Perhaps it is his unique ability to subtly juxtapose subjects of horror and beauty in the same piece that sets his work apart from other artist.

"Gunslinger" by Gerald Brom

 

I’ve been a fan of Brom’s artwork since the early 90s and his artwork work has been a major influence in my creative endeavors. I’m constantly amazed by the work he puts out and the success he has had in the; fantasy, sci-fi, and horror illustration fields.
