Perihelion (NSFW)

Nick Cross's Perihelion is a a very dark, animated short paying tribute to the works of influential German painters from the early 20th century (Otto Dix, Richard Oelze, Ingrid Griebel-Zietlow, Rudolf Schlichter and Max Ernst), as well as the works of Francisco Goya. The common thread between these artists being that they all lived under the shadow of fascism and the brutality, which their paintings reflected. Perihelion is a tonal piece with no distinct narrative, yet filled to the brim with disturbing end of the world style imagery, contrasted by Nick Cross' stylized approach to his imagery.
