There's a quote that says 'Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.' Do any of you take comfort in art? Either creating it yourself or looking at other people's work? I can get lost in a painting for hours. I tend to find the most comfort in disturbing art. Does that say something about me? Swiss surrealist HR Giger is one of my all time favorite artists. My mother once told me she though I there must be something wrong with me for finding comfort in images that so completely disturbed her.

I also enjoy the work of Zdzislaw Beksinski, Jaroslaw Jasnikowski and other surrealists such as Salvador Dali and Man Ray.

Do any of you take comfort in art of any forms? I love to draw, sculpt and sew but I also love immmersing myself in other people's work and appreciating what they have created.
