This piece will share nice Irish Aesthetics. Throughout, I will link Xwitter curators with accounts more dedicated to aesthetics… consider following them!
Firstly, What is the “Feel” of Gaelic Art?
The Gaels are actually a temperate rainforest people. Lots of trees, lots of rain, but dark and northern instead of tropical Amazon.
We share this environment with the Samurai.
We have black hair but blue eyes because we are evil maxxed dark aryans built for the low lit shadows of the trees.
We have prowled these rainy Atlantic forests for 4500 years.
We are hyper traditionalist and have a warlike honour culture. Feel this and you will understand Ireland much better: “these are the same picture”
Jim Fitzpatrick
The chap who made the famous Che Guevara shirt. He also illustrated our great pagan myths:
He said:
“For the cover of my book, The Book of Conquests, I was channelling an artist called Frank Frazetta, a wonderful fantasy artist. The image is of Nuada the High King standing on this rock with a sword raised up into the air and all these enemies surrounding him. I did it deliberately heroic.”
His work is ludicrous. The collective oversoul was guiding his hands in making this - I found many of these curated by Oengus
Brian Boru Series
This was curated by Gaelic Futurist - we don’t know the artist.
The battle of Clontarf in 1014 against the Vikangz
The clash at Dublin (to this day Dubs are, lets just say… “grugs”)
Brian had a number of wives, one of whom was Gormlaith. She was a sister of the king of Leinster and mother of the king of Dublin, both of whom fought against Brian at the Battle of Clontarf
Again, follow Gaelic Futurist
Book of Kells
Shots from the famous illustrated script curated by Grandson of Finn
We even have a scribe among our ranks who recreates this style with his own hands - follow scribalstyles on Xitter
Now, it seems my email size limit has been hit, so lets end with mural wall art curated by Paróiste Ór
If you enjoy my labours to harvest these, consider subscribing and I will email you the recipe for homemade explosives:
