Gunther von Hagens, born on Jan.10 1945, is a controversial German anatomist who invented the so-called “plastination” technique, used for the preservation of bodily tissue. At 68 years-old, he still runs his controversial museum exhibitions displaying plasticized bodies and cadavers.

His exhibitions show human bodies as well as animal cadavers striking life-like poses, dissected to display the various structures and internal systems of both human and animal anatomy.

About the Artist:

”My name is Antoni Tudisco, I was born and raised in Germany by my Filipina mother and my Italian father. I’m a fan of extraordinary things ever since I was a child. I had my own world as a kid. I started to sketch during lessons when i was attending the elementary school I didnt really listen to the teacher i just draw and skribble.

I guess that characteristic of mine developed into being creative and original today. The first time I heared about the *ADOBE PALETTE* , I left no stone unturned and learned every commands all by myself. Since then, *ADOBE* and me were like bestfriends. We were inseprable.

Then I tried taking another step higher and tried doing 3D designs and videos. It was hard at first because i had to understand and do everything all alone but because of hard work and enthusiasm, it turned out to be a success until i developed my own website where I presented my works after that, i got the attention of other artists and agencies. After recieving my diploma at the age of 18, I got loads of projects and requests from some major clients such as MTV PHILIPPINES, COCA-COLA, REEBOK WOMAN, NESTLE and VANS”

About the Designer Studio:

”We are a young South African duo inspired by the grit and grime of the London streets. An inspiration that has led us down a path of art, skulls and dark undertones. We are obsessed with what lies beneath, the tainted side – the unseen but only ever imagined.  We are a collaboration of two restless and exploratory minds and Mr Four Fingers is our representative. Together we share art in the hope to infiltrate every home in the world.”  mrfourfingers.com

”The idea of this series was inspired by Necrophobia, or someone’s fear of death as well as anything that is associated with it (coffins, skulls, tombstones). Although it is a part of life and is something all us will end up with, there’s this huge fear and denial of acceptance.The project revolved around this idea, creating illustrations designed heavily with florals and vibrant colors to reflect a slightly brighter mood to the drawings or the whole composition. All illustrations were hand-drawn and painted a bit with watercolor before a few editing in Photoshop.” Daryl Feril

Artist Statement

Terrence Payne’s archetypal oil pastel portraits combine narrative elements, refined organic forms, along with delicate and bold lines to suggest movement and evolution in his subject’s character.  The earnest beauty ensuing from the clumsy actions of his subjects as they stumble through life in pursuit of their ideal existence inspire him.  Whether or not they ever reach their prescribed potential is irrelevant to Terrence, it is the fleeting and universal experiences that happen along the way, which truly define their humanity.
