When mentioning the terms 'Dark Art' or 'Gothic Art', most envision a rough, scary, and grotesquely distorted expression of creativity. Jason Beam's work has never fit into that category - his work illustrates emotion, beauty and sensuality mixed with the dark, the distorted, and the tragic. In developing his style, he did not want to follow the current genre of Dark Art, but develop a more realistic/surrealistic style that fit his individual outlook and was more dreamscape than nightmare.
