My eyes have seen the glory.
There are countless incredibly talented artists who are churning out their own tributes to their favorite horror films, and we always love to shine the spotlight on the ones who grab hold of our attention. Few have grabbed that attention harder than Van Orton Design, twin brothers billed from Grayskull (but actually Turin, Italy) who are creating movie posters unlike any others.
In their “one point perspective” series, the Van Orton brothers have given neon-colored, stained glass-like makeovers to horror films like The Shining, Army of Darkness (above), and Suspiria, but it’s not just the vibrant colors that set this art apart from the pack. The name of the game here is symmetry – the brothers are, in their own words, “symmetry obsessed.”
Wikipedia explains the meaning of one-point perspective:
A drawing has one-point perspective when it contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This type of perspective is typically used for images of roads, railway tracks, hallways, or buildings viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer. Any objects that are made up of lines either directly parallel with the viewer’s line of sight or directly perpendicular (the railroad slats) can be represented with one-point perspective. These parallel lines converge at the vanishing point.
