Top left is specifically the spirit housing for living creatures from Ezekiel. The living creatures are also wacky, but the Bible doesn't indicate that all angels look like this. (Though they don't describe many, so they might!)

Yes thank you, i know it's just a meme but every time i see the whole "Biblically accurate angel" thing I'm just like "but which angel?"
I gotta say tho, if the angels at the entrance to the garden of Eden looked like the spirit creatures from Ezekiel, the flaming sword would have been purely superfluous lol
I think I heard that these are Seraphim, which are like the highest rank of angel, and lower-rank angels look more traditional/humanoid
I don't think the angel ranks and most of the names for them are in the Bible, but I think that is long time Christian and Jewish tradition. The living creatures and their spirits are probably distinct from the seraphim though as they are much more wings and less eyes and rings.
I have also seen evangelion.
The bottom ones look trippy
Top right has goatsee vibes
