Stephane Halleux

I don't quite know how to describe the work of Belgian artist Stephane Halleux… it's not quite Steampunk, although it certainly  has a  retro futuristic vibe it's maybe more akin to the dystopian future imagined in Terry Gilliam's masterpiece Brazil. So take a large dose of Gilliam, add in a bit of the dark side of Tim Burton, and an equally large  portion of Michael Bentine's Potty Time, along with a pinch of (the previously posted) Bennett's Robot Works, and you might start to get a flavour. 

Anyway, I love it.

Stephane's work can currently be seen at Oxford's Museum of History of Science's Steampunk Exhibition.
