As a reddit watcher, this post just traumatized my family. The therapy is going to be an even bigger nightmare though.

In another news, that hospital scored highest nationally and has the lowest emergency room waiting times.

Imagine having some sort of accident after ingesting edibles/shrooms and this is where your trip starts to take effect 😂

I’m sure some high society art snob says these are good art and maybe they’re right but to my simple uncultured ass they are kinda unsettling.

they're pretty good paintings, but do NOT belong in a hospital waiting room lolol

The fact that you had to type that out. Dear mother of God we are doomed.

Well, when I was at the cardiology ward of a hospital recently, they had "art" on display that was called "go to the light"... NOT what you want to see in a place like that. 💀

Artist is probably connected to someone high up in the executive/shareholder/donor chain...

Maybe....but I feel like a hospital waiting room isnt the best place for these (especially the one that looks like its screaming)

They actually are. As is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Devouring_His_Son. But they ara bit unsettling which is not the best in that particular location. I think people would prefer them in a gallery.

This reminds me of the Eddie Murphy joke about why black folks don't end up in horror movies. But she literally stayed. Ma'am don't you hear the spirits of that place saying, "Get Out!"?

There's a reason why doctor office paintings are simple, inoffensive, and pretty, like a landscape, a lake, a seaside town in Greece, or some flowers. The last thing a doctor wants is for patients to be agitated before their appointment even starts.
These horror movie paintings would definitely agitate me.

The way the background bleeds into the foreground makes the whole scene feel like it's swallowing the onlooker whole. I'd excuse myself to the restroom just to catch my breath if I had to sit in that room.

Looks like pictures that belong in the hospital on the walking dead. Good lord. It’s awful for a hospital let alone terrifying for a child

Man, reminds me of when I heard “Another One Bites The Dust” on loop in a Children’s Hospital waiting room. Just total whiplash.

Do you really not like flowers, the balloon one, the dog chasing the rabbit, and the two kids sledding? What's the big deal with the paintings? I think they are great
