Get a taste of miniature hell
These photos are part of the fascinating work of Mark Powell. Powell is an Australian artist who has been gaining popularity for his peculiar and nightmarish dioramas. His sculptures exaggerate and depicts dreary and guile subjects like cannibalism, parasitism and the evolvement of flesh when it is recycled to create morbid creatures.
Even though his art comes across as very graphic, you have to commend him for doing a fabulous job in creating such morbidly beautiful art that can actually leave an impact on the viewer. Powell’s MySpace page’s about me section says “I am a mouth, an osophogus, a stomach, a small intestine, a large intestine and an anus.” His description of himself accurately reflects in his art. This work shown here is a depiction of hell in many ways. The charred skin, the prison-cell like rooms and the overall setting that the sculptures are put in send out a very devilish vibe.
