ManneKorpse—Loser Poseur Series is a multimedia exhibition of artwork and literature
created by Luke MacGilvray. His extensive painting portfolio is inspired by the elongated
human form, rich colors, and subject matter which will disturb and intrigue you. He
describes his work as “Flitting examples of mass hysteria compacted into dog food can
distribution, echoing inside an empty skull. Falling. Blackness. Screaming. Leathern
blood, mixed liberally with heat and smoke. Gray mysteries swirling around my hands
and face, sneaking off somewhere into the darkness, bubbling and murmuring, putting the
world at a slight slant to reality.” His description of his work is a perfect entry into his
literary style, featured in his first published book, In A Bright White Light, Promise Me
You’ll Die. We invite you to experience his artistic madness for yourself.
