Felix Deac’s Hyper-Realistic Creature Sculptures

Romanian artist Felix Deac creates hyper-realistic sculptures…sort of.  His pieces covered in human-like skin are replete with moles, veins, blemishes, and hair.  However, their form is anything but familiar.  His sculptures are intentionally amorphic and anthropomorphic at the same time.  In a way Deac encourages the viewer to contemplate the irrational situation in which a creature like this would be a possibility and how it came into existence.

Documentary Watch: Skin- Tattoo Culture as high art

Directed by Ryan Hope, Skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art, and a film that tests the boundaries of art and the human body. Featuring contributions from Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Raymond Pettibon, the film is a beautiful visual essay from the frontiers of contemporary British art. Watch the full documentary after the jump.
