Paul Rumsey - His own flare on the macabre

Paul Rumsey, a surrealist artist that caught my eye recently, reason being his style revolves around the darkness of macabre, quite similar to the late medieval paintings, but with a distinct edge that makes it completely new and unique.

A fine example would be this piece (fig.1), which unfortunately, is untitled, or at least I wasn't able to obtain it through my search. The picture depicts rounded skulls flying through the air on streamline bodies made up of their own spine...that would be a rough interpretation in my opinion. These skulls are likely to represent actual sperm cells making their way through the female system, thats the physical interpretation. A deeper meaning to this piece would be, although death ceases life itself, it seeds and grows into the everlasting afterlife.

This way, Paul Rumsey is portraying the same themes associated with Macabre, but also developing deeper meanings to it.
