Carl De Keyzer's God Inc., Homo Sovieticus, India, and History Paintings.
Breathe, breathe, breath I had to tell myself because I was just drowning in these odd and glorious images.
Thanks for this beauty, Stirfry!
(But these are photos, not paintings, no? Please advise.)
Photos they are. If you delve into the site, an area is called "history paintings". A quote I came across claimed that "the composition and the very large format bring them closer to history paintings."
See hierarchy of painting-like genres for source of caustic comment made via photography nominated as "History Painting". Now, go visit C18.
It's really a very traditional slag on the "Academy".
Some paintings in the academic tradition here.
