Art related Gothic Horror : Aleta Welling

To get a wider view of existing forms of Gothic Horror I have decided to look into artists that use these legends and also the genre in general as inspiration for their work.

Aleta Welling - Noxious Hues

Aleta is a primarily self-taught artist, who uses oil and acrylic paint as her main medium's. She has been featured in a variety of galleries, cafes and studios throughout Europe, the Mid-Atlantic area, and in her now local area of Phoenix, Arizona. She concentrates on the use of contrasting light and shapes expresses the way she individually views human nature.
As for the dynamics of the paintings she claims it is her obsession with dark colors, extremely contrasting shades and masking the characters in her art that can explain the comic-like and post- apocalyptic theme that occurs in a room full of my paintings.


                 

I chose to look into Aleta Welling due to the fact that she is not only inspired by other great painters, sculptors or photographers, but mainly by music in the industrial, electronic, dark wave and gothic genres as well.
