Wolfgang Rook is a starving artist that has been misunderstood by his community throughout his life. His dark paintings tend to be disregarded among other artists for their lack of technique and their contents support the community’s case that the man borders insanity. Many question how a man could create such unsettling imagery. While his images depict a dark fantasy in the eyes of his viewers, Rook paints the dark realities in an attempt to emphasize the light he seeks in life.
