"Ego Death" represents the mystical experience of transcending the human ego.
In this animation, the Grim Reaper has gained enlightenment while well known creatures from my past paintings watch in astonishment from behind.
The raw materials of this animation were created from my 2013 painting of the same name. It was also the centerpiece and title of an epic solo show I had at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica, CA where I turned the whole gallery into a funeral parlor for a "funeral for the ego". Complete with funeral goers, a funeral procession, a weeping widow and an undertaker who read a eulogy while my character "Black Magick" (who represented the ego) was lying in a nearby coffin, the whole affair (as well as one of the biggest synchronicities of my life involving the painting) was captured in Mike Correll's 2016 documentary about me entitled "Chet Zar: I Like To Paint Monsters".
Original "Ego Death" painting specs: 36x48", oil on canvas with custom bronze frame corners.
Animation (1400x2000px) and audio created by me in Adobe After Effects and Logic Pro X
