Hello from Beksiński and Astroworld

Hello Zdzisław Beksiński from Hello Travis Scott from ASTROWORLD

A four-panel collage pairs a shirtless tattooed man with a Polish flag and the caption “Hello Zdzisław Beksiński from,” then shows a black-and-white face with glasses and the “ASTROWORLD” logo under “Hello Travis Scott from.” The bottom panels show a giant pale head above a crowd and a grotesque yellow creature emerging from tangled roots. The joke mixes Travis Scott’s Astroworld imagery with the disturbing surreal-horror aesthetic associated with Zdzisław Beksiński, making it useful as an absurd reaction to something nightmarish or unsettling.
