Welcome to Hell! 🔥
This week, we chose to shiver with fear. With this special playlist for Halloween, Art Explora Academy offers you a ride in hell! Discover how artists have sought to represent death and let Bosch’s demons give a glimpse into the afterlife…
Damien Hirst explores the universal symbolism of the skull, and the futility of decorating them to make death more palatable. Damien and curator Colin McEwan compare this approach to Meso-American cultures where mosaic skulls allude to both death and life.
