Some work by John Haley III

Here is a great example of an artist that manages to twist a style into something very unique. The Art Nouveau influence on Haley's work is obvious, but his take on it is totally unique. A common criticism of Art Nouveau is that it is overly feminine, but the work below is far from that. John Haley manages to take the organic flowing curves usually found in Art Nouveau motifs and mix them with violent edges and sharp points that make his work look like a mix of Alphonse Mucha and Frank Frazetta translated into forge work.
