Pure Evil wrote about this series:
'About a year ago i received an email from a copy village in China with a list of different paintings they could reproduce for me from every famous artist in history.
Because i use original 60's and 70's newspaper cuttings for each canvas, the newspaper will vary from this image..
Warhol had 3 pieces in the list, a Jackie, a Liz and an Electric Chair. It seemed the kind of thing that Warhol would have been fascinated by. His whole output had been distilled to three beautiful dark images. In a way the 'nightmare' series takes this a step further. I am making myself a kind of 'copy village' celebrating the dark side of celebrity worship.
Each one in this set will vary , the newspapers are archived from the 607's and 70's and are different for each piece.
There are 10 of these in total'

Paul writes: The 'Nightmare' series is a remarkable collection of images that has gained immense popularity for various reasons. Icons in art tend to capture attention and this extensive series is a hallmark of Pure Evil's work. The visuals are striking in their simplicity, yet highly impactful. particular set of ten is distinct, incorporating authentic newspapers from the 60s and 70s, making it a multimedia experience, with Marilyn Monroe being a highly sought-after subject. In my view, this original piece stands out within a dynamic series created by a highly creative and talented artist.
