I just finished Greg Egan’s short story The Caress featuring this ^ painting of a human/cheetah hybrid by Fernand Khnopff. This exhibition reminds me of it very much.
What unsettling and beautiful works!

or
Freaking awesome!
Maybe my ambivalence is part of the intended effect?
Nope… I don’t like it.
I might have guessed this would have creeped me out, but looking at them it doesn’t at all. I guess I’ve seen enough movie special effects to get my sensitivity up. Maybe seeing them in person would have a different effect.
As if bad taxidermy wasn’t creepy enough…
Reminds me of Dave McKean’s work, especially Mirrormask.

That is ■■■■■■■ gross. Well played.
I prefer this, aesthetically I mean.
(Meret Oppenheim)
Impractical but I do like them
Ooh, I’m kinda conflicted on that last pic…
I mean… it IS the Tank Girl movie. It’s pretty cheesy but i love it
hand-sculpted human faces…
Sure they are. Not taxidermied heads from stolen corpses. Just Sculpey, I swear!
