 1198  8.2  8.6  Johannes Kahrs. 93'09, 1997 Taxi Driver inspired a series of painted still which reflect set celluloid moments. Maybe unrecognisable as from the film but clearly displaying his masculinity and demeanour. Dionysian Child's rating:
 
403 6 6.3  Peter Doig Canoe Lake, 1997 This painting was inspired by the last moments of the film. When the drama has subsided and the lone protagonist lies exhausted and safe in her canoe, until... 
321 5 4.6  Edward Hopper- House by the Railroad. Apparently this painting heavily influenced the design of the house used in the film. 
94 7 7.4  Helen Gillan- Just 5 more minuets, 2007 Inspired by the concept of children's innocence and naivity. That delicate line between fun and danger. Cloaked bu unnaturaly dark water the children appear stranded, separated from one another with a new player entering from stage right... Dionysian Child's rating:
 
792 7.4 7.8  Helen Gillan- Whispers  Helen Gillan- Static Air  Helen Gillan- Escape to Paradise Inspiration was taken directly from the film stills where the images were recreated to tell a story of their own, filled with a heavy oppressive air and an impending sense of foreboding. Dionysian Child's rating:
253 8.2 8.5  Wim Griffith. Gun, 2007  Wim Griffith. Trial, 2007 With his work capturing the attitudes of the crime drama genre, emphasizing moral ambiguity and sexual intrigue. This series of Men in Suits is sure to leave you wondering, "Which one is the bad guy? " 
338 6.9 7.5  Stuart Pearson Wright, Woman Surprised by a Werewolf A painting inspired by the film An American Werewolf in London is contending with one that draws on Apocalypse Now for the UK's largest contemporary painting prize. As well as popular culture, works wrought from childhood memories, the animal kingdom and Renaissance art make up some of the 40 paintings named today in the shortlist for this year's (2008) John Moores contemporary painting prize.

1718 7.7 8.3  Seth Metoyer. October 10, 2005 Inspired by the feature film Donnie Darko Dionysian Child's rating:
483 7.4 7.7  Tina Mammoser. Empire of The Sun The challenge of the film paintings was trying to create a personal interpretations from another artist's images and vision. Many hours were spent viewing DVDs and making sketches of various still scenes to try and choose either the best moments to abstract or to choose various elements to combine into one painting. Dionysian Child's rating:

Description
A list for the artists out there... Paintings that have been either directly or conceptually inspired by a cinema. Recreating the image, memory or feeling from a movie still or scene into the new static media of paint, open for fresh interpretation. Any suggestions or work of your own wishing to be added let me know. I'll add as I find.
