MANIAC

diverse - entertaining - ironic - absurd

Inspired by Albert Camus, William Blake and Richard Huelsenbeck - Arthur Phantomhive frees himself from his so-called 'lyrical straitjacket'. Sometimes sinister, sometimes macabre, the author reveals the depths of human psyche and social coexistence.

Through the unconventional combination of archetypal symbols and modern cynicism, he builds up a field of tension that is repeatedly resolved by humorous digressions and self-irony.

Bitterly serious truths in the cloak of artistic ease.

The British author lives in the heart of London and mainly deals with various art forms of the 20th century. Phantomhive's aesthetic vocation was already recognizable in his youth, but his career was repeatedly interrupted by manic and schizophrenic phases. These experiences shaped his existential worldview.
