Artist Pays Tribute to The Shining With Jack Torrance Painting
An artist based in Shetland, Scotland, has mounted an exhibition devoted to classic horror characters at an abandoned mansion.
The video was recorded by artist Balazs Onhausz, who used it as a teaser for his new Halloween-themed exhibition. In the footage, the camera moves through a corridor and approaches a painting depicting Jack Nicholson’s character in The Shining, Jack Torrance.
Onhausz set his mural exhibition at Park Hall, an abandoned mansion owned by the Shetland Amenity Trust.
He told Storyful: “I’ve kept an eye on that old, abandoned, spooky building for a long time, wanting to utilize it for an art display,” and added that Halloween was a “good opportunity to create something that brings attention to this stunning, old, historical building.”
The exhibition is made of 10 paintings mounted on 10 windows, and Onhausz said that money made from the sales would be donated to one of the surrounding rural communities.
More footage of the exhibition can be found on the artist’s Instagram account. Credit: Balazs Onhausz via Storyful
