A Seed of the Sick Earth
Vergvoktre

Vergvoktre is a mysterious figure in an age where information is available about everyone…a Russian artist whose acrylic and charcoal paintings are masterpieces of bleak, depressed darkness. This is not an evil that is motivated to crush your existence, this is an evil that lets the veils of chilling fog settle around you in a deserted, colorless landscape; one that invokes hypothermia of the soul; one that grinds you down with the sheer weight of its sin. Vergvoktre’s pieces have a brilliance that shines through his dark palette and sets them apart in a sea of dark art. The heaviness of the emotion they carry is felt immediately upon witnessing them, and yet not all of his themes are serious – take “GG’s Rising,” the Christ-like depiction of GG Allin surrounded by his followers. But they way his lines blur on the page takes any jest and imbues it with seriousness. Check out a gallery of his work below…
