I'm looking for a specific Painting, similar to Alan Aldridges style on Elton John's "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy". It shows many characters in various 'situations' some in human form some not. I've seen it in pictures of sectional Art displays, but can't find it in that category on google...even looked for Alan Aldridge LIKE art. no success...PLEASE it's driving me NUTS! It's on my old laptop, but I've forgotten my password on that...

Do you have any other details about what was in the painting?

 

Would it have been by any fantasy artists, like Frank Frazetta, Todd Lockwood (Dungeons and Dragons) , Brothers Hildebrandt (Star Wars), Patrick Woodroffe? Let me know if any of those are close.

 

Is it dogs playing poker? :laughing guy: :laughing guy: :laughing guy: I shouldn't laugh- https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-painting-dogs-playing-poker-endured-100-years

Alan Aldridge is kind of a surrealistic style. Maybe your painting is in one of these links?

Joan Miro or Salvador Dali? Both do those type of paintings- Miro's Harlequin's Carnival is below . . .

Hieronymus Bosch?

 

Dutch fellow who painted many random collage style art pieces. Google him and you will see other artists who painted in a similar vein.

 

Garden of Earthly Delights! I was trying to think of that one. Hopefully that's the right one for Orf!

I thought Bosch, too. The dude climbing the ladder with the knife sticking out of his ass always disturbed me.

Oh come on! It's only an arrow.

 

Having grown up in Nova Scotia, I was always afraid that the bagpipe would start playing. :P

You've seen it? Whoa!

Apparently it's not as large as people expect. It is indeed amazing! Is the outside panel ("the Sphere") visible somehow?

The stuff that's going on in the other two panels is just as messed-up, but with less rectal damage.

Here's a detail from the Prado museum:

You can zoom in with great clarity.
