Crown (2023) Painting by Ed Schaap

Ed Schaap is a contemporary award-winning Dutch painter. He has been captivated by H.R. Giger's work, but as time has passed, he has developed his own distinct style, which can only be described as peculiar and unsettling. Being a contemporary surrealist artist, he draws inspiration from the modern-day world, as well as from myths and legends, and interprets them through his unique lens. The outcome is a collection of exceedingly strange and disturbing artworks that portray the artist's perception of the current distorted state of the world or the potential future. He skillfully intertwines elements of realism and fantasy, creating a sense of alienation that runs throughout his pieces.
