Gallery: Gorgeous, Eerie Paintings of Lone Figures

Share:

If you’re a fan of Tim Burton’s goth aesthetic, then you’re going to fall in love with the work of Boston-based illustrator and printmaker Daniel Danger, whose dark, beautiful paintings we spotted over on My Modern Met. Given the fact that he only works with three colors at a time (and two of those are always black and white), the results are incredibly striking and complex. According to his personal statement, Danger’s goal is to “remind you of something you may have said to someone, or something someone may have said to you; back in that time period that’s just too far away to remember clearly, but not so long ago you forgot about it completely.” Click through to get lost in his haunting, shadowy world of empty streets, old abandoned houses, and creepy railway bridges.
