In today's video, we explore some weird and wonderful masks from around the world, as well what they mean and represent. Sources for this video can be found below.

This is Episode 4 of an ongoing series called Inspiring Art by Independent Artists. A series that showcases new, underground talent from around the world that specialise in the arts. Please be sure to head to the the artists' links below to check out their full portfolios!

In this video we explore some art in a series of paintings known as the "Recapitulation" series by Italian-Canadian artist Sveva Caetani. This series of watercolours reflect the particularly unusual and dramatic story of her life, that included being locked up in her own home by her mother for 25 years. In this video, we leave no stone unturned and find out what exactly happened to this one of a kind artist.

In this video we take a trip into insanity within the world of "Scorn" , a strange horror sruvival game released in October 2022. Here, we take a particularly closer look at how two of the world's most famous dark artists, HR Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński, played a vital role in inspiring the strange imagery and themes in the game.

In this video, we’ll be looking at some of his lesser known or at least not as celebrated works of art that tend to stun, move and haunt viewers upon first viewing them. But of course, as always since art is subjective, I’ve chosen a few others myself that I personally get that uneasy feeling from, which for some weird reason is a feeling I love exploring on this channel. But I want to use the term “chilling” broadly here though. As Munch was not only uniquely talented in invoking anxious unease with his work, but also encapsulating the tender and heartbreaking experiences of the human spirit. Such as heartbreak itself, loss, isolation, sickness and even death.

Considered to be one of the most recognisable Hollywood actors of all time, Jim Carrey has been renowned since the 90s for making audiences of all ages laugh at his comedic high energy, slapstick and hysterical face expressions in an nearly endless list of movies now considered to be classics. A lot of my childhood favourites happen to star Jim Carrey and I’m sure I’m not alone in that!

Since I started getting myself stuck down a Shinatro Kago rabbit hole recently and after getting some physical copies of his manga books, I felt compelled to dedicate a video to him . To do an almost book review video on a couple of my personal favourites. Welcome to another video everyone. I invite you to witness some of the bizarre manga art of Shintaro Kago.

The artist I’m referring to for today’s video is Swiss outsider artist Antonio Ligabue. Living most of his adult life as a wanderer, in and out of many hospitals and mental institutions, historians and art critics would find the strange life and mental instability of Antonio irresistibly fascinating and unfortunately from what I found in my research, this has tainted the meaning and reception of his art over the years. But hopefully in today’s video, we can look at Atonio Ligabue’s art in a different way, in the way it was intended. To see not only his art, but the wider world around us, through the exact same eyes of this fascinating individual.
