Art

An art series by Dino Valls. With a doctor's education, Valls has created a series of images of a human body that are enticing, scary, disgusting and beautiful.

Go, see!

(Personally, the rubber glove covered hands are the scariest...)

Beautiful! Reminds me of the Pre-Raphaelites and art of the 15th... in that order. And as to the disgusting, go see some medieval images of the martyrs, St. Sebastian especially, or the Danse Macabre images. ;)

Thanks, I'll remember this artist.

It took me a while to figure out what was creeping me out in the first pictures: I think it's the lack of eyebrows. Without them to indicate the mood, the face looks strangely dead.

The subjects' poses remind me of the past anthropologists and their encounters with natives all over the world: "And then we measured their skulls and took notes on their shape and this indicates blah blah..." with accompanying photos of serious-looking naked people with pincers around their head. They always make me uncomfortable.

Sorry (or why do I have to apologize? Bad habits dies hard), but I don't like them. They don't give me the joy/pleasure or inspiration or spark on interest that I personally require from art. Not my style. But it sure is different and stands out from the crowd. No doubt a very skillful artist.

I have quite severe hospitalphobia or doctorphobia. I felt terrible after like 3 pictures I just had to stop. Even now that I am writing this it creeps me and there is a lump in my throat. Ucky.

You should have warned me. I'm almost shaking.

Ooow, sorry! I was not my intention to actually disgust/scare anyone!

Heh. I know you did not mean to... I am not 100% sure if I left that one unclicked even with the warning... But really was creepy.
