This is a model of the Human Head & Neck region showing some of the vasculature and nerves. I really wish I owned this. As far as I can tell, it was originally posted by The Cabinet of Photographic Curiosities, which has some extremely NSFW photos, watch out!
Wow! Here’s some 4th of July Fireworks for you! This painting comes from artist Alex Grey — a renowned spiritual/psychedelic artist & practitioner of Tantric Buddhism. Alex actually spent five years at Harvard Medical School working in the Anatomy department, studying the human body and preparing cadavers for dissection. His mastery of anatomy is clearly displayed in his painting.
The New York Times described his work:
“Mr. Grey’s paintings present man as an archetypal being struggling toward cosmic unity. Grey’s vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art.”
And while his works may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it would be hard to argue against the pure energy flowing off the canvas. One can only wonder what the bottom half of this painting would look like…
Alex and his wife are holding a Visionary Art Intensive at the Omega Institute in New York from July 29th to August 3rd, 2012 if you are interested.
These striking illustrations are from Alexis Marcou for a Nike commission back in 2010.
This isn’t the art direction I would normally expect to see from Nike, but I think it’s pretty cool. The illustrations have tremendous energy established by his use of strong lines and contrast.
The art of Dan Quintana, who hails from Los Angeles, CA, has a certain kind of evil to it. He paints dark and twisted visions of humanity that make you feel a little bit uncomfortable, and his work can get prettyrisque.
Federico Carbajal is an architect from Montreal who created these anatomical pieces from galvanized wire, stainless steel and acrylic.
Federico’s description of his work:
An exploration into the boundaries of space: volume, surface and line; of the immaterial form and its perception – its structure and deconstruction. A deep look at the human body, its anatomy and the appropriation of its symbols.
With the influence of the old masters and the early works of Alexander Calder, to current digital 3D media and architectural representation, these tridimensional hybrids bring together drawing, architecture and sculpture in order to create a coherent spatial entity. buy lamisil online bloonlineandnew.com no prescription
Floating tridimensional sketches of the human body are drawn through space with different sheathes of galvanized wire mesh and are assembled and structured with architectural detail. buy Nootropil online buybloinfo.com no prescription
Spatial sketching allows for the possibility of new representations of images in space, exploring the void and the dematerialization of volume. buy lariam online bloonlineandnew.com no prescription
The physical and metaphysical presence of the human body emanate through a combination of transparent planes and spatial lines.
I’m a fan of almost all interesting representations of human anatomy, and this work is no exception. The wire heart is really great and surprisingly accurate.
