Although Beksiński's art was extremely dark, in person he was known as pleasant, taking pleasure from conversation and many friends enjoyed his quick wit. The final few years of his life were bleak for Beksiński, his wife died after a long painful battle with cancer and his son, Tomasz, committed suicide. In 2005 the son of Beksiński's assistant hacked him to death because he wouldn't lend him the money for a rock concert.
Catmota is a showcase for intriguing art from the undiscovered to the influential. Whether it achieves stillness in the midst of chaos or shatters the serene, art should be seen without the corrupting influence of fads or wealthy collectors.
