Sometimes humans really do seem like nothing more than snarl of metal , osseous tissue , and hair attached a digital watches . That ’s the uneasy content of Canadian artist David Altmejd ’s sculptures , which have made him a controversial but popular artist over the past few twelvemonth . A lot of his clobber is techno - grotesque , which you’re able to see below , but his scary pieces are the sleek , glazed 1 .
Here is a point from one of Altmejd ’s bodies .
And here is another one of his half - metal , half - antic pieces .
But this one , featuring a cluster of mirror people in a mirrored room , is the one that really freaks me out . The people are all industrial - shiny surfaces , covered in chilling spikes . They ’re like beautiful but baneful robots who come out a lilliputian malformed from the factory .
Altmejd hasa solo showing coming up in London in mid - October .
