Let me state for the record that:
A) I do not seek these things out. I don’t have enough hours in the day to hunt down Creepy Art. Nor do I want to spend my time doing it. That said, I DO take advantage of photographing it when I stumble upon it.
2) I am in no way judging the artists. Listen, I’m a writer. I know how hard it is to create something and then present it to a world full of critics. These people are courageous and have my utmost respect for what they do.
That said, some art (like some writing out there), is just freakin’ freaky. In that horrifyingly beautiful sort of way. Therefore, may I present the third installment of:
CREEPY ART IS CREEPY:
UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY STAND BEFORE IT, GAZING INTO THE SOUL-WRENCHING DEPTHS OF THE ART!
That said, the face is narrow, but the profile is elongated. Really, really elongated. As such, my first thought when I saw it was the opening scene from the book “Congo” when the gorillas squash the human’s skulls. That scene creeped the heck out of me. Yes, it’s unfair to transfer that to this stunning bust. Yes, I’m still doing it.
