This painting is based on the 1993 poster for the Tobe Hooper film Night Terrors. This promotional image for the film is clearly inspired by Salvador Dali and Bosch. Images in genre films are often alluding to art history, and Night terrors had a prominent VHS cover that was no exception. It most closely resembles Dali’s “The Face of War”.

If you intend to purchase this painting you must keep in mind that hanging it in the proper spot is of utmost importance. How would you hang a Francis Bacon or an Edvard Munch painting? Do you give such a painting a prominent spot or do you hang it in a hallway. Do you hang it at the end of a hallway? Do you hang it in your secret quarters behind the bookshelf?

It’s important to have something in your art collection that will shake things up, and disturb the comfortable, etc. This painting will change every time you see it, and you will never really get a grasp on what you are looking at. That is how you know you possess an Adrian Poole original.

This is made with acrylic paint and paint marker on archival Canson illustration board. It is 20 by 16 inches and is a standard frame size. Keep out of direct sunlight.
