When it comes to favourite paintings on DA, that are dark and twisted THE MURDERERS ED GEIN by ~ScabbedAngel is right there at the top. ~ScabbedAngel portrays serial killer, analysing his psyche, background, almost to the point where it becomes a fascination. I just cannot get enough of textures of this monochrome work, where the play of light and shadow, colour, broken composition of the triptych, dented in head, and the body suit depict the gruesome actions of the killer, his perversion, and twisted view of the world.

THE MURDERERS ED GEIN

Description

I present to you the infamous serial Killer from my great state of Wisconsin, the Butcher of Plainfield...

Ed Gein.

From Wiki:

"Searching the house, authorities found

* severed heads acting as bedposts in the bedroom;
* skin used to make lampshades and upholster chair seats;
* skulls made into soup bowls;
* a human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; the deputies' reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag);
* a face mask made out of real facial skin found in a paper bag;
* a necklace of human lips;
* a waistcoat (which he called a "mammary vest") made up of a vagina and breasts stitched together;
* other items fashioned from the parts of human bodies, including a belt made from nipples."

Given the nature of his life, I censored the female nudity of his woman suit to symbolize the fanatical morals imposed upon him by his strict Christian mother, and tried to pose him in a way that a young boy would stand in shame.

He was NOT serial killer! he only killed two people! he is a "Psycho" killer" he was a tragic lost soul in need of his mother! Augusta was his "whole world and one True Love". He was a scared child who needed his mother. His story is just so sad!
