Whether or not you agree with the name “Dark Art”, Chet Zar is emblematic of this movement. His modern imagery twist combined with classical oil painting techniques make his artwork stand out. His paintings are monsters, fears he has managed to throw on canvas.

Also, with Mike Correll (director of ‘Chet Zar: I Like to Paint Monsters’), they host the Dark Art Society Podcast ( http://www.soundcloud.com/darkartsociety ) that “covers a variety of important and contemporary topics. Themes include Dark Art, literature, film, music, culture, philosophy, dreams, paranormal experiences, magick and much more!”
