"Anatomy of an Angel,"

"In his infinate wisdome"

"Death explained"

"Pigs may fly..."

"Saint Bartholomew,"

"Our Father Who Art in Heaven,"

"The Golden Calf,"

Theyre pretty cool, a shame that they usually cost around 20$ million a piece.
I want the angel though

Modern art that doesn't suck ass. Interesting...

CANNABISCLOCK · September 18, 2008, 07:43:03 AM

exquisite. all of them would be very neat, though if I had to pick I'd have to go with the angel as well

LeekClock · September 18, 2008, 07:43:23 AM

Iunno, a lot of that seems pretty unimaginative. Check out belgian artist Wim Delvoye!

PentagramClock · September 18, 2008, 07:51:49 AM

Sorry Leek, I tend to stay away from art involving shit. Not that Piss Christ wasn't hilarious.

So that's who made the Poo Machine, those tattooed pigs are awesome; reminds me of the article in Bizzare about fish piercing.

Gunther von Hagen's work is great, if you sign your body to him for use after your death you get free trips to Switzerland for seminars every year; and of course your body used in the name of art.

they make something morbid beautifull don't you find that facinating?

Loki Clock · September 19, 2008, 08:50:33 AM

No it's boring. And it wasn't morbid to begin with. You are made of flesh. That is not morbid.

Yeah but the whole concept of flesh, death and how it can be beautifull in a disgusting way
I think that's purty artfull

This is not a unique or innovative idea. Medical schools have had preserved bodies up for display for forever and they started getting moved to art houses like 50 years ago. (or more)

And that's not even counting mummies.

RomanClock · September 19, 2008, 12:03:48 PM

Its more boring and slightly disturbing than anything else.

But mummies were never created for the sake of art nor did medical schools preserve bodies in a way other than for study purpouses only

Im not saying its art just because its "oo dead bodies and stuff" I just think its a neat new concept of mixing arts and such
that and I do love me some undead angels.

I'd love to see any one of your flashes sell for 20 million $

Flounderpa · September 19, 2008, 04:35:57 PM

sick and repulsive, but in some it's interesting

Thor · September 19, 2008, 04:51:22 PM

Roman, I want to buy your flash movie for 20 million $
