Original announcement: poecito ·
On 2 June 2015, CRAJES shared an excerpt from an interview with Linda Bergerova for Oh, So Surreal, linking to the full conversation.
Asked about their influences, the artists said that films and comics were among their favourites. They singled out Spanish religious art, especially virgins, Edgar Allan Poe’s stories, European classical art and duality, as well as Mozart’s Requiem while painting.
Their film references included Kubrick, Hitchcock, Buñuel, Bergman and Lynch. They named comics by Alan Moore, Daniel Clowes and Suehiro Maruo; writers Poe, Kafka, Nietzsche, Freud, Baudelaire, Bukowski and Sade; and artists Ingres, Diane Arbus, Moreau, Delville, Harry Clarke, Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac and Dino Valls. These are the influences described in the 2015 conversation.
A 2015 announcement. Exhibition dates and contacts refer to that historical event.
