Antoine Bernhart
Since there aren't any websites dedicated to Bernhart, I chose to scan in and upload a selection of his works from the "Rope, Rapture and Bloodshed" book at flickr. If Bernhart or anyone representing him wants these images taken offline just ask me and I'll remove them.

Bernhart's paintings are brutal violent grotesque and imaginative works. Masked characters, monsters, animals and peculiar toy like things interact with nude women usually in some form of bondage.
To see a few other works by Bernhart, check out this thread.

ATTENTION - I've been forced to make this gallery private. I'm new to the whole flickr thing. Send me a friend request on the flickr page and I should be able to give you access to the paintings. If anyone is interested in hosting these paintings on an open website please let me know!

Reinhard Scheibner
Continuing on with another artist from the Le Dernier Cri camp, Scheibner has created some very odd imagery. This image of nude figures interacting with worm like monsters is a good example of just how unusual his work can be.

Click here to see samples from Scheibner's book "Linometal".

Stu Mead
Another artist associated with Le Dernier Cri, Mead has made some very unusual works. He has a penchant for making incredibly obscene yet humorous imagery.

You can purchase books and prints made by Stu Mead at Le Dernier Cri's website. Here is an example of one of his books available from the site.

Hans Bellmer
For more info on Hans Bellmer, check out his page at wikipedia.

I've had to piece together what I could find on the net as there isn't a decent website dedicated to the work of Bellmer. Maybe someday.

Oscar Chichoni
The style of Chichoni uses the mechanical and incorporates gothic imagery such as gargoyles as well as other fantastical elements. All of his imagery contains rich textures that often emulates a rusted surface.

Toshio Saeki
Certainly one of the more bizarre artists I've ever posted on here. Toshio Saeki has been called "The godfather of Japanese erotica" and makes some of the most perverted, demented and fascinating images I've ever seen.
