About the Artist: Zack Dunn is an artist based out of Reading, Pennsylvania whose work has been featured at Bloodlines Gallery and Tattoo Studio.
Statement: "Horror art that is hand painted using oils on canvas". -Dunn
About the Work/Connections: Dunn's paintings focus on monsters, chilling creatures and portraits, and even some animals, such as owls. Any one of his works could easily be turned into a horror film antagonist. The blood on the subject's face and enormous smile hint at clown-like features without being too obvious and cheesy, and lead you back to the title- Coulrophobia- the fear of clowns. Dunn's work toys with peoples fears and phobias without being brash. His creations are made in a tasteful way, making them to be beautiful macabre pieces instead of overdone, dull ideas.
