Trevor brown prohibited illustrations. SFW - jokes, humor, girls, accidents, cars, photos of celebrities and much more

) and to my joy I discovered his new works there. As always, magnificent in their ugliness... I don’t know why the new cycle is called “In the Garden of Moonlight”, but, on the other hand, why is this name worse than others?
Here are some of the paintings presented in the cycle.

Wanting to find some textual information about my favorite artist on the Internet, I unexpectedly came across an interesting article that talked not only about Caesar, but also about Mark Ryden (I wrote about him) and a certain Trevor Brown. It turns out that my favorites are psychos. I'll pretend to be surprised.

Ray Caesar.
He's delusional. Thinks he's a werewolf. And that he was born with the head of a dog. Although for those around him he is not a werewolf, but just a son of a bitch. When Ray Caesar is asked how his life is, he always answers: “Everything is great, I love my wife and avocado, and the fact that I am a dog does not bother me at all.” I started drawing “werewolf” in childhood. When he showed his drawings school teacher, mom and dad didn’t get off with a beating parent meeting. They had to take their son under their arm and get him away from prim, respectable England. To Canada. And there Rey turned around. I gave free rein to my sick imagination. He drew girls. Girls thoroughly licked with computer graphics. Similar to porcelain dolls, but devoid of any attractiveness and any shades of emotion. But emotions appeared in those who looked at these pictures. Girls with rat tails. With beehives on their heads. With devilish hooves instead of legs... And he also began to draw cats. Like any dog, he sees them as disgusting animals. Slimy, squirming monsters, baring their sharp teeth. Fas!

I would not attribute a dislike to cats to Caesar. In my opinion, he doesn’t have a very positive attitude towards dogs either. Take this:

Mark Ryden.
Poor Lewis Carroll. If only he had known what kind of demon he would awaken with his “Alice in Wonderland,” he would have burned the manuscripts to hell. Mark Ryden just slightly developed, continued, pushed the already crazy world of the famous Wonderland. And as a result, he became one of the most famous crazy artists in the world. Bored Alice lies on the grass, and next to her is half a rabbit carcass in a puddle of blood...
The demon woke up, and his stock of imagination did not dry out on Carroll. New characters appeared on the canvases. For example, Teletubbies. They appeared to Raiden in their real appearance. Small, evil aliens bent on conquering the Earth by hypnotizing kids on TV. All of Raiden's heroes have disproportionately huge heads and small, skinny bodies. The trickles and puddles of blood in his paintings are so natural that, having held them, it’s time to inspect his clothes and hands to see if he’s dirty... Mark can be called the most gothic artist of the trinity. Christina Ricci, who played a girl from the Adams family in the film of the same name, herself became the heroine of one of the masterpieces. Mark Ryden has a signature trick. In addition to the signature, it is passed from painting to painting special signs: eye and bumblebee.

Here are the same Alice, the Teletubbies and Miss Ricci:

And finally, the third artist, whom I heard about for the first time.

Trevor Brown.
"Why are you so cruel to the girls in the pictures? Do you hate them?" - Trevor Brown was once asked. The artist replied with a sweet smile: “No, no, no! This is just misanthropy.” In other words, dislike for people. Yes, Brown definitely hates all people. But he especially hates little people. And those damn girls... Classic example his canvases: a small naked girl with a lollipop in her mouth and her hands tied, surrounded by her favorite toys. Pink Teddy bear dressed as a sadomasochist, a snuff-box penis and a one-eyed Mickey Mouse among a whole herd of phallic symbols... The more often Brown's albums were banned and withdrawn from sale, the more his misanthropy grew. And along with it - the desire to portray something harsher.
Sometimes Trevor Brown has to interact with fans. The latter, a pleasant-looking young employee of a funeral agency, turned out to be a necrophiliac, which he hastened to tell his idol in full detail.
Trevor's idol is the Marquis de Sade, and his sources of inspiration are Japanese schoolgirls. Maybe these schoolgirls once deprived Brown of attention? But he still won’t calm down and continues to take revenge on them on paper? We won't know. Because the most experienced and experienced psychologist will immediately go crazy if he digs into Trevor’s brain...

After getting acquainted with Brown's works, I realized that he would not become my third favorite. Undoubtedly, there are interesting things among his paintings, but I don’t like it when similar art mixed with porn. I don't understand this. Yes, I know it's not like me, but still...

By the way, for the same predilection for genitals, I dislike Clive Barker, an artist who specializes in horror and created Clive Barker's Undying and Clive Barker's Jericho (these are such games).

Although a jerking skeleton is, of course, fresh.

Trevor Brown was once asked in an interview: “Why are you so cruel to the little girls in your canvases?” “This is not cruelty at all! I call my creativity misanthropy!” - that's what he answered scandalous artist, smiling sweetly.

Trevor Brown - who is he

Why did this man become so famous? Trevor Brown is an outrageous artist originally from England. He prefers to shock the public by depicting violence, Satanism and child sexuality in his paintings. Despite such a terrifying, unusual sight, there were also fans of the artist’s work. Regarding the style of the paintings, for the most part they resemble traditional features pop art. However, Trevor himself combined his own paintings into a single style, which he later called baby art.

Entertainment or nightmare

While Trevor Brown's work is truly provocative, that's really what makes it remarkable. It is the terrible things depicted on the artist’s canvases that catch the eye, attracting the eye and arousing some interest. Trevor's art represents a kind of middle ground between Eastern and Western pop cultures. English artist managed to extract the unusual from these poorly combined cultures, resulting in a bright, exciting mixture - flashy sexual fantasies expressed through Asian schoolgirls.

Biography of Trevor Brown

How it started creative path extravagant artist? Trevor Brown was born in the capital of England. After graduating from art school, the guy went to traditional way most modern illustrators - got a job in a small design studio. During several years future artist worked in various advertising agencies and design workshops. So Trevor became a very sought-after advertising illustrator in London, while very young. In the late 80s, Brown joined the ranks of a radical underground organization of artists. Having started illustrating several popular records and albums, artist Trevor Brown gained cherished popularity.

Over time, the outrageous illustrator got tired of the measured and absolutely calm rhythm of life of the British. Hypocrisy and boring English nation became boring to the artist, he became uninterested in the culture of this country. So Brown became actively interested in Japanese art and eastern heritage. During this period, the London illustrator met the musician Masami Akita and entered into correspondence with him. Communicating with his new friend, Trevor gradually began to explore the field of modern experimental music, and he really liked it.

Life in Japan

Trevor Brown's interest in Japanese culture grew every day, and in the early 90s he finally managed to escape from boring England and move to colorful Asian country. There the artist very quickly got used to it, acquired regular customers and even gained popularity among local art connoisseurs. Trevor Brown's paintings began to be published in Japanese art publications, and galleries in the Land of the Rising Sun opened their doors to the illustrator.

After just a few years of living in Tokyo, the artist married a famous geisha. His work in the vastness of Japan became truly popular, and the illustrator himself became in demand. Gradually, Trevor became very close to musicians engaged in experimental creativity, which significantly affected the artist’s art at that time.

Soon Brown's works began to be published in pornographic magazines, and the artist chose Japanese girls, the image of which on Trevor’s canvases horrifies gallery audiences today.

Brown style

In his art, artist Trevor Brown combines the main features inherent in Western and eastern cultures. It was he who became the founder of a new direction in contemporary creativity, which he called baby art. Creating sexual works in contemporary art, Trevor Brown's paintings combined pornography, satanic torture, Japanese schoolgirls, sadomasochism, pop art outlines, pedophilia, dolls and medical fetishism. For the average person, this combination will certainly seem at least inadequate. However, as Trevor Brown sees it, his work presents the public with his own view of girlish sexuality.

The artist’s source of inspiration was Asian schoolgirls, who are still praised in Japan. In fact, there is an entire cult among Japanese men dedicated specifically to schoolgirls. For some reason, very young girls there become real celebrities, uniting in music bands, dance groups and theater troupes. Japanese men They are captivated by various spectacles with the participation of girls; such events are always extremely fun and vibrant. So Trevor took his inspiration from the Japanese cult of schoolgirls. True, the essence of his works does not at all obey modest Eastern principles.

Images on Trevor's canvases

A generalized image of the work of artist Trevor Brown can be called a Japanese schoolgirl dressed in a classic plaid skirt, with her hands tied. Or a very small naked girl with a lollipop in her mouth, surrounded by all sorts of toys and symbols of the phallus. Almost all of his paintings depict some kind of violence, phallic symbolism, naked girls and toys. Visually, all this chaos in no way fits into a single composition, united by a specific theme. Maybe that's why Trevor is credited with pop art style.

Brown is often accused of pedophilia and love of everything violent. However, this does not lead to the illustrator’s interest in own creativity just growing up. The more often Trevor's work was banned, the more he wanted to portray something harsher and unacceptable.

Artist's works

To understand the depth of Brown's work, his illustrations must first be seen. During his rather eventful career in the field of art, which has lasted for more than ten years, the artist has earned a truly cult status. Oddly enough, his devastating paintings in large quantities decorated all kinds of underground publications, books and albums, T-shirts, records and even Greeting Cards. Trevor illustrated album covers popular groups Coil, John Zorn, Deicide, Kayo Dot, Whitehouse, Venetian Snares.

Among other things, the artist’s creative baggage includes many prohibited illustrations by Trevor Brown that never saw the light of day. For example, one of these works was a French book called “Alice in the Garden of Evil,” which Brown illustrated. This publication has not been approved for sale.

In 2008, Brown became involved in litigation to protect his copyright. The conflict grew due to the fact that famous group Crystal Castles began using Trevor's illustrations without his permission. In the same year, the case was stopped on the basis of a financial agreement between the parties.

In his homeland, the artist’s art caused mixed reaction English audience and media. This also influenced Trevor's decision to leave London for good and go to Tokyo.

Brown is often compared to the famous one who also preferred to use children's characters and a variety of manifestations of violence, suffering and pain. However, the artist himself, of course, denies the similarity with Mark, insisting on his own uniqueness and individuality.

English artist today

Now Brown's work is considered an integral part Japanese art. For many years now, Trevor has been married to a geisha, who supports her husband in every possible way. He is one of the most active participants in the design of prestigious Japanese pornographic publications. In addition, Brown collaborates with popular underground periodicals in Europe and America. True, despite the successful cooperation, Trevor Brown’s paintings are still prohibited from being imported into many European countries.
