The Old Dog Presents: The Disturbing Sculpture Contest!

in #contest5 years ago (edited)

Art elicits emotions. They can be joyful, serene or even upsetting. I sometimes come across sculptures that leave me feeling disturbed.

Let me show you one that I saw last week in Cernobbio Italy and then we'll turn it into another interesting contest!

My Example of a Disturbing Sculpture!


How would you like to run into this guy in a dark alley? This bronze sculpture was placed here in memory of an artist that had passed away in 1989. She was the president of the association of Art, Love and Friendship. A wonderful gesture to be sure but I find it disturbing none the less!

Colourful lady from Barcelona;)

She looks aggressively disturbing!

This disturbing sculpture i saw at Wat Rong Khun , Temple in Chiang Rai also known as The White Temple of Chiang Rai i did not understand the meaning of this sculpture as most temples normally have huge lions or ritual sculpture protecting the temple but this was a sculpture of skeleton skulls on fire with a bottle of whiskey sitting on one of the skulls head maybe saying don't drink this brand of whiskey otherwise you will burn up and end up like this...lol :)

Entry No #1

That is very disturbing!

It is indeed :)

Excellent idea for a contest! I love it. Well, I have seen a quite a lot weird sculptures on my travels but when it comes to disturbing art, the creepiest pieces are probably the famous statues of children with barcodes instead of faces. Installed in the center of Prague, they were created by Czech artist David Cerny.
