Mark Powell’s Grotesque Dioramas

Mark Powell’s BeinArt GalleryAn artist from Melbourne Australia, Mark creates drawings paintings and sculpture. On display at Mark's website are scenes of incredibly detailed nightmares brought to life through grotesque diorama sculptures. I'm unaware of the specific mediums used but he's made great use of organic resembling materials, perhaps wax? Along with amazingly textured surfaces for the walls and other objects.  The scenes almost resemble something you'd find in a Brothers Quay or Jan Svankmajer animated film. These would be amazing to see brought to life through that style of stop motion animation.  You can view these horrifying and fascinatingly detailed dioramas at Mark Powell's website and see additional works at Mark's flickr gallery.
