Hernan Bas

The Haunting of that Hill House (MacKintosh)

A brooding, architecturally precise rendering of the iconic MacKintosh house looms against an atmospheric backdrop, rendered in the slick, high-contrast aesthetic that defines Bas's signature style. The combination of acrylic, airbrush, and household gloss creates an eerie, almost synthetic luminosity, while the block print elements introduce a haunted, layered quality reminiscent of vintage horror illustration. Bas channels Shirley Jackson's psychological gothic through the lens of mid-century domestic architecture, transforming the structure into a vessel of dread and queer subcultural unease.

Medium
acrylic, airbrush, househould gloss, block print on linen
