Creepy art
11 articles
Creepy art encompasses strange works of art typically focused on the dark facets of life and, to some degree, death. In some instances, creepy art tends to overlap with scary art, which is predominantly meant to expose the innermost, basest instincts and so-called “demons” of the artist for the viewers to feast on.
Creepy art has been around almost throughout art history and these scary artworks range from madly strange, odd, weird and unsettling to borderline deranged and shocking. Typical examples include Medusa (1596-1597) by Caravaggio, The Nightmare (1781) by Henry Fuseli and Electric Chair (1964) by Andy Warhol.
