Saturno Buttó
Great work by Italian Artist Saturno Buttó. His oil paintings seem to be connected to the sphere of mysticism, Christianity, suffering (with references to martyrdom and crucifixion). His work is suspended in time as the subject matter feels contemporary amongst very classical compositions and settings. There’s also an underlying theme of S/M and the dark black and red tones consistent in all of his work makes for an erotic charge. (via).
