Amazingly Intricate Macabre Sculpture
Posted by Derek C.F. Pegritz
Have you ever wondered what Hieronymous Bosch’s artwork would’ve looked like had he been a sculptor rather than a painter? Kris Kuksi answers that question.
Make sure you investigate out the closeup shots of his works. The Devil is, quite literally, in the details. Be careful, though: you could end up picking through his works for weeks trying to absorb the sheer density of them. They’re almost like fractals made of bone and Barbie-doll parts and sheer, sticky, sniffable evil.
(Incidentally, Kris Kuksi’s work was previously featured on Ectomo’s parent blog, Table of Malcontents. But it’s so awesome you need to see it again.)

*Whistles.* I love these sorts of things.

I suppose that doesn’t explain much, does it? The sort of art you can get lost in, that contains a painstakingly intricate little world… I’ve seen some incredible Chinese ivory carvings, but they lack the wonderfully macabre touch added here.

I had the intense pleasure, and luck, to see a number of these pieces up close and in person. A few months ago I found pictures of his work on flickr somehow, and was amazed by it. Not 2 weeks later at a First Friday Gallery opening did I turn a corner at one of my favorite galleries and find 3 of these sculptures staring back at me. They’re not only amazingly well crafted, intricately detailed, but BIG. One of them was 6 feet across. I can’t imagine how long it takes to make one. But I stood there for close to an hour taking in as much of it as I could. Really great work.
