"Orsten Groom comes from the Middle Ages and the caves and keeps history vivid in today's art. He comes from the future."
Jonathan meese
“Wow, that wading cadaver with skewered fish and dangling tongue, all aflame, makes for one of the most startling shots in all of film!
Orsten Groom's ethos is incredible! Twisted, a little mean, often ugly, always gorgeous! ”
Guy Maddin (about the movie BOBOK )
Orsten Groom is an independent painter, musician & film-maker,
born in 1982 in a russian-polish family.
Graduate of the Paris Fine Art school in 2009 & the Fresnoy in 2011,
