Christophe Hohler - My favourite artist - incredible imagery - oil on canvas

thought I would show you some of my favourite artist's work.....I discovered him whilst on holiday in the south of France......walked into the gallery of his best friend and was blown away by how intense his oil on canvas work is.....couldn't resist purchasing, and now I have his paintings hanging in my house.....here are a couple of examples of his work.....

Baconesque except more tangible, maybe a bit much so. Still cool

i do like bacon as well.....i think your desciption re 'tangible' is spot on....and exactly why i like them - i find these fascinating to look at face to face....touch more reasonably priced as well.
Most of his work is based on the human form which i quiet like as a subject matter....almost bang in the middle between Freud and Bacon if you know what i mean........

not so much for aesthetic reasons, rather because of my relation to the little mermaid.

illustrations by John Bauer

[Fade to Black]

beautiful illustration. This would be next to the word 'ethereal' in a visual-textual dictionary.

John Bauer is great!

Bauer always reminds me of Kay Nielsen (though wikipedia tells me Bauer came first). My mum had a Nielsen illustrated copy of East of the Sun, West of the Moon when i was young and i still find the images enchanting.
