Make a vídeo of Chichoni an Argentinian artist please

[@oldboy2399]

Thanks for covering Chris Mars he's one of my favorites and he tackles mental health issues in his work, fascinating....

[@Hellforsa]

Who do all youtubers tske these stupid sponsors.. i guess money is everything

[@billdauphine951]

Hi, I know I'm probably reaching, but was this done after my recommendation or did you receive many..?? In any case, thanks...

[@theartofchristophermalherbe]

Please make a video on lowbrow art.

[@Fimbleshanks]

It's the look in the characters eyes that gets me. So real and alive, even as they are drooping and turned down by weariness. Also, his way with color is so beautiful.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

Chris Mars is undeniably talented. His works may be perceived as unconeventional, but his art works have deeper complexity to them that not many can easily decode or interpret.

[@yoggothemadgod6196]

If for unconventional you mean from a stylistic point of view I agree, if you're talking about the messages... i'd rather say that the correct word is trivial...

[@democratictotalitariansoci1462]

@@yoggothemadgod6196 yep, couldn't agree more. Very unique style, yet cluttered and repetitive works.

[@AerialTheShamen]

​@@democratictotalitariansoci1462 The monster faces look like each stitched together from too many different and random coloured pieces. Asymmetry makes mainly sense when it contrasts or breaks symmetry, but these are barely symmetric at all. The paintings look like lacking each an individual concept (somewhat like AI generated art). They are ok but not unique masterpieces like Bosch or Dali paintings.

[@sarahhurst701]

I tend to be drawn to darkly awesome & twisted art. Thanks so much for posting this today.💕💜🌍

[@LunarShimmer]

Chris must be a very perceptive person to be able to paint such a wide, beautiful array of emotions and expressions. The 'monsters' all look so real, so colorful. I love the ones with big rosy cheeks :)

[@buzzardsinuses4780]

I’m a huge Replacements fan, and not only is he one of my all time favorite drummers, but I’m a huge fan of his visual art too!

[@kruledrew]

The Replacements also rock. Thanks for the new artist rec.

[@celestenova777]

I love all the different emotions shown in these faces, so much to read in them that they need no description. Incredible talent. Great video, thanks for your work.

I discovered this artist because of the covers of "Grimscribe" and "The conspiracy against the human race" by outstanding Detroit writer Thomas Ligotti (published by Penguin) used some of his artworks which I find after reading wonderfully fitting. I encourage you all to read them, specially the later. Pretty Neat video Mr. Dweller, neat as always!

[@judeinfante8909]

Same. That's what intrigued me the most about him. When I heard his brother was a schizophrenic it made sense and made his art much more impact full.

[@ericdravenX00X]

To keep it brief, i will say i love Chris's art and find it mind blowing...

[@cronkitesatellite]

Great video! I saw some of his work displayed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art maybe 20 years ago and it still has an affect on me today. One of the pieces was animated and you could put on headphones to listen to hundreds of characters, all talking at once. Brilliant stuff.

[@bexmw]

Giger and Beksinski are my favorite so I’m not surprised at all that I love this

[@papaglenford]

the album Tim has been one of my favourites since i was a teen in the 80s. good for him for exploring his creativity so thoroughly

[@georgekostaras]

I have to thank you for introducing me to a number of highly talented and very moving artists. But this one might be the most moving for me personally

[@ReynaSingh]

Such interesting work. Thank you for sharing

[@scorpion0498]

i;m not _super into_ art generally but this channel always surprises me. every episode is a fascinating trip into a completely unique world as seen/portrayed by uniquely talented individuals. i love it :D

[@KanyeKetchup]

And weedwackers😂

[@torgo_]

Great video, I've never heard of Chris Mars. Amazing how he gets all those little details in the skin and the eyes and such. Very talented.

[@PatchworkAndNuance]

Amazing work by this artist, I’m glad to learn of his paintings 🖤🥀

[@LagartoEl]

Who are the monsters? Indeed. Another fascinating, brilliant video.

[@4ll3ytr4sh]

"With clippers that can snag my bag" had me absolutely dying and if I had the money your ad read would've got me.

[@peschi79]

Chris is my favorite living artist and I'm the proud owner of many of his paintings. Thanks for doing a video on him!

[@brak1381]

Moved in so many ways.. just wow. Your channel feels special,great work. Loving it.

[@krisstopher8259]

Those are perfect story book pictures. I read a lot of visual story books when i was a kid and it boosted my creativity

[@wast01d]

I was so so happy to see you talking about Chris Mars, Ive been a fan of his since my youth. Id love to hear you talk about Camille Rose Garcia sometime!

[@bullcutgaming7749]

I just wanted to add my input that I like videos like this where you talk about the artist's work in general more than when you break the video up into a few paintings which you analyze closely

[@e-cuauhtemoc]

Good stuff as always. THANK YOU!

[@timriley4543]

Been a fan of Chris' for awhile now. His stuff is just red hot brilliant.

[@Schizonoise]

Lots of fine detail, stunning light shading, and good evil - that doesn't go into horror. I like it.

[@alley-p5d]

love his style of painting..thanks for posting

[@Agpicklefeet]

What a perfect subject for one of your videos!!

[@fayewithane]

wow wow wow wow!!! another great video highlighted by yet another AMAZING artist corner! I exclaim outloud when i see you've uploaded a new video!

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

So glad you are giving us your insightful and empathic take on Chris's stunningly dark artwork.I don't find his work grotesque or ugly,but achingly human in a really visceral way,he makes us confront our own demons as he confronts his and makes us question bad things in the world.he has the same sensibility as Otto Dix.I love the replacements too,that is how I discovered his artwork as he did covers for their music.He articulates visually things that can't be spoken of verbally in his very emotive art.(Matt)p.s his work really moves you if you see it in real life in the same way Francis Bacon does,hope you get a chance to see Chris's work in person one day

[@Skullkan6]

Thank you for seeing this, as I think it is key to understanding his work

[@BARBARYAN.]

Cringe

[@Danay985]

To me, his art isn't disturbing at all, it's beautiful and soulful 🖤

[@BARBARYAN.]

Oh wow ur so corky. Not.

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

Love your channel! This is the first time i've managed to catch a new release! Cheers from Columbus, Ohio!

[@thisisanexonym]

I really quite enjoy the empathy on display in his works. Downtrodden, disturbed, and disturbing people stuck in a positive feedback loop of getting more downtrodden, disturbed, and disturbing. These are people who need a better world and the introduction of love and compassionate influences like Chris who are willing to look them in the eyes and ask them what's wrong.

[@thisisanexonym]

I'd like to think that his cruel worlds filled with decay are worlds coated with a cruelty that is decaying away from being willing to confront it. Healing wounds look very gross compared to fresh wounds. With convalescence it's a very necessary step to accept and embrace ugliness because beauty is otherwise impossible. Ugly is beautiful.

[@lewielewis860]

I really needed to see this. I think I finally have an idea for my painting now

[@madwolf4815]

I'm so glad I discovered this channel thank you for all the work you put into you're videos I've found so much dark artwork and I'm always looking for new dark art and this is where I find some of the best artists In my opinion you do a grate job of displaying there art while sharing there stories

[@tomhancock8184]

As always, it was a superb presentation. Thank you for your dedication to the understanding of art.

[@heavysounding]

That intro you utilize is hauntingly serene. I dig you, mate.

[@myntultryp3685]

bravo dude. presentation has increased tremendously over the course of just One video!

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

I just discovered this thank you so much for this vid I am absolutely going to purchase the book. I am obsessed with dark creepy art like this its so important. Its the only art that actually makes me feel anything lol. One thing I have noticed is that most of the subjects are doing their own thing but then one will be looking right at you. The eyes are done very well, they really draw you in.

[@joecano-ol3re]

LOVE THE MATS! I'm happy that Chris has found success in his real passion.

[@ad_kk16]

A suggestion that I think might be interesting, doing a video about Norval Morrisseau. People considered him to be Picasso of the North. He has an interesting story and very great artwork. I do think there's not much Indigenous artist recognition out there. I suggest taking a look. I really love your videos, art means a lot to me, as well as others. Keep doing great work!

[@JiyoonPark82]

I'm actually curious about indigenous artwork. It's not recognized as much as it should be. As an Asian, I truly admire art from the indigenous people. It's very different compared to modern art, it's very spiritual. I hope Blind is able to check him out. I'm sure others would love to see!

[@dvdemon420-ud2xe]

This channel is great I really dig this guy's work and what he said behind it.

[@Saitamaz94]

His works, like Suzzan Blac and Yuko Tasushima you covered before, gave me this feeling of physical pain. Like you got pierced and squashed by such cruel and twisted sights they presented to you. Like you can absorb those pain in those paintings.

[@lisakuntzman7017]

love the kind of art that makes me Want to look away but can't...Thank you for the share

[@jameskaihatu6209]

His clear affinity for the marginalized and empathy for the neglected tracks with the fact that he and his wife operate a canine rescue - Mutt Mutt Engine. He released a new album (downloadable on his website) where the proceeds go to help their mission.

[@KittehNow]

Beautiful work... Chris Mars

[@ElazarY]

Such impeccable skill with which each painting is rendered

[@kiniyya]

The only reason I listened to your ad is because your voice is soothing LMAO 🤞🏾💕

[@Scrimosa]

It's nice to see you sponsored (manscaped is funny and always seem like someone is making a joke), and nice to see you, of course! It's strange that I've never heard of Chris Mars but his paintings look like something I've already seen before.

[@jonanjello]

I love The Replacements, played drums in a band and create my own art. So, thanks for covering Chris Mars and his art

[@NativeIntelligenceCheckMyDJmix]

BEAUTIFULLY DEMENTED Chris Mars is a bad ass....One day i'll get the confidence to submit my paintings and bio for artist corner. I love that you create that space in ur videos.My work is interesting but I'm still a little too green There is still an insecure monster in me that can only be squashed with more art practice and canvas time.

[@jaksville]

i really connect with this artists work as someone born with autism, ive always felt different and an outsider. Even to the point of people judge you before you even open your mouth and struggling to get the right meaning to what I’m saying. thanks Blind Dweller 🙌

[@Karlena_Lewin_Studio]

Fabulous video again well done!!!! 300k here we come 🎉

[@mararoxa2638]

Absolutely amazing

[@Browni3bab3]

Nice work Sam, that ocean picture is extremely captivating 🥹

[@tomwebermusic]

Big fan of the art of Chris Mars!

[@opusv5]

Striking and imaginative work.

[@edwardquin4464]

Perfect commercial for you! Thanks for the fine education you offer.

[@megamike420]

Wow his paintings though strange are quite amazing! Also maybe I need some ball deodorant as I call my junk Marky Mark and the funky bunch!

[@imaspoon4522]

I love the Replacements!

[@michaelwittmann8720]

i am so glad, you did one of my all time favorite, Chris mars ,!

[@aprofondir]

Oh wow, I was thinking "was it that Chris Mars" and couldn't believe it was!

[@tinblessing8]

I dislike 99.78% of commercials, but I gotta say: Your copywriting and narration of the Manscape commercial is, well, not just ballsy, ahem, but brilliant.

[@guruuu6609]

I liked the paintings but did not know who made it now I know Keep making these videos on Artists

[@aaron_osborne]

Perfect guy to traumatize myself and children. Me: I wanna show you something. Kids: speed run like sonic the hedgehog

[@christianmiller0192]

I love your channel and all your videos. This man’s art is amazing and disturbingly beautiful. But your balls jumpscare caught me off guard. 😂

[@meagain9987]

As for the trimmer - Where can we see the before and after pictures?

[@artbylee68]

I CRAVE ART and YOU'RE MY DEALER.. YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT. Thank You!

[@JD-gf7ur]

this one really stood out for me

[@joeaquilino19]

This art reminds me of the looks you get when you call the substitute teacher mum.😂

[@lisamurphy5663]

What an amazing artist!👍🏼

[@bjornviir3333]

superb technical skills with great imagination....like Beksinski.

[@mikeluke7417]

His works remind me of the movie freaks by Todd Browning. Absolutely brilliant 👍

[@Lesseroldertales]

His work reminds me of David B's graphic novel Epileptic. It's a very compelling work.

[@PaintedTurtle001]

Love this art! 👍

[@dimitrioskalfakis]

brilliant. ingenious.

Hey! Mr. Dweller! Please do review the works of José Hernández (5 January 1944 - 20 November 2013) Moroccan born Spanish Painter and Plastic Artist. I'm sure you'll find it pretty interesting. Much respect to you, my sincere admirations and salutations!

[@hatef_hatami]

This art is beautiful

[@NateSmith87]

That intro is why I love surreal concept dark, gloomy art depicting such.

[@kendrapayne7598]

The ad made my day

[@spf_500]

Damn. I'd like to put some of his work in my future house

[@oggeeboggee]

Beksiński meeting Giger... Nice!

[@chaosofthegalaxy3094]

As a massive Replacements fan, with only a passing knowledge of Chris’s art, this was a great video. I instantly recognised him as the cover art from “The Conspiracy Against The Human Race” which has always stuck in my mind.

[@Browni3bab3]

Love this one

[@melissainaus7955]

Just want to say I am really enjoying your Chanel.every night I watch a new episode.makes me want to buy some paint and canvases and begin an artwork.Melissa from Australia upcoming artist.

[@maht0x]

Thanks for another introduction, Mr Dweller

[@darrellrohling555]

Our talented MN hometown boy!

[@tr5676]

Saw the thumbnail of this vid, thought the style of the art piece looked vastly similar to the cover of my copy of Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and sure enough, same artist!

[@Rose_333_Buds]

resembles drawings school kids leave in their text & notebooks when they don't want to do the homework. Darkly my left foot 🤣

[@andersand6576]

Great video! Though not very dark a video suggestion could be Otto Frello

[@c0m1g5cmg8]

Artwork is stunning beautifully designed and constructed. I agree with the Artist the biggest Monsters are the one's we can see...

[@casealialangton8970]

I love learning of amazing artist that I've been missing out on!! Have you seen the works of Dolce Paganne?

[@claykline2830]

one of my favorite artists today has to be Phil hale, you would dig his stuff, what an interesting and dark world he creates. There is something about him and his mentor Rick Berry's art that touches a strange place in the reptilian brain. Probably the most skilled out there rn. Chris Mars seems to explore the biological horror where Bhil and Berry seem to be focused on the unfamiliar meeting the familiar. Lenora Carrington or Kathe kollwitz would also make a good video, there's lots of great artists out there. I love your videos

[@jeffreystreeter5381]

Twisted art is awesome.

[@MrBallenHiddenTruths]

I have new favorite artist its amazing i love dark art

[@antisocial333]

Fascinating

[@shotbyjkru]

2 minute ad-read on a 17 minute video is criminal
