Coloring Book, page 9

This sculpture by Micha Laury's was in a group show at Mike Weiss Gallery in Chelsea. I like the way the arms hang limp like something taxidermied. The whole thing plays with your fears of cloning and genetic mutations and eco-devolution. There's a lot of this grotesque and horror show art in vogue today. I think it's an outgrowth of young artists' fears about the future. See flickr for the original.
