DAE Press // An aesthete is one who has an affecting sensitivity to the beautiful, especially in art. We here at the DAE like to surround ourselves with those whose views and definitions on “Beautiful” tend to lean just outside the norm, or as is often the case, diverging completely in the opposite direction of the commonly agreed upon aesthetic.
Aestheta is the showcase of the artists that produce the works that transcend and push these boundaries, redefining beauty through their own vision. This group of artists are next level and we are truley honored to have them hanging on our walls. This maybe one of our best shows yet.
Additionally, on November 20th, we’ll also be displaying the original works by some of the best dark artists in the game: Chet Zar, Wes Benscoter, Jim “TAZ” Evans, Luke Chueh, Dienzo, Frank Forte, Jeremy Cross, D.W. Frydendall, Kat Philbin, Buddy Nestor, Dan Litzinger, David Russell Talbott & Mike Bell all created original paintings of death scenes for this very special NFT release. We were asked by Bloody Disgusting and Screambox to curate art for a NFT release free to all subscribers of their streaming service.
