The Nightmare
I'm always up for a bit of dark, brooding and disturbing art, combine it with an old Eastern European country and its going to be a winner. Adrian Ghenie from Romania paints psychologically disturbing paintings of a new EU member state and it's inhabitants. The paintings remind me of films or memories, with the drips of paint, superimposed frames and layered transparencies like static; bits lost and distorted by trauma and the bluntness of life in the former Soviet Bloc. Well worth checking out, here.
