  • That "whoa" guy looks like a total asshole. Great site, forks!
  • Gosh! Old dudes got no fucken idea wha happen in crazy innanet worl! It be new!
  • If you subscribe to the "disturbing = great art" school of thought, then those are some of the greatest sculptures I've ever seen. I emphatically don't belong to that school....
  • Very nice link, forks!...the first one. I suspect that the artist is also a gardner from the love of plant forms I see. The bronzes are wonderful! Growing from the earth.
  • Thanks for the Arcimboldo link wolof. I'm a fan.
  • Handsomely done marbles, and amusing. I'm particularly taken by that laterally split torso cresting in asparagus stalks...hmm, could it be a sly comment on vegetarianism.
  • do many artists still work in marble? luscious link!!
  • Good one forks!! These are amazing/disturbing/wackilicious.
  • it's one thing to see abstract and surreal paintings, but for someone to commit such work to marble is incredible.
  • More here and here for those having difficult navigating the site. I just noticed that these were there myself... This, this and the "whoa" are apparently his best known pieces.
  • MmMm. Your second "this" is my favorite! Lovely.
