Have a look at this awesome Sugared Skulls by Jiri Geller. Strongly inspired by pop culture, Finnish artist Jiri Geller defines himself as “an outsider, a punk rocker”. Perhaps Geller’s work attempts to present the skull as an abstract or an ambiguous subject. The resin sculptures where given a bright, colorful exterior decorated in polka dot patterns.
Jiri Geller models and subverts the iconic forms of contemporary culture with vengeful precision. Geller is also the rare Finnish artist who has both managed to stay close to Finnish aesthetic strengths and traditions and also detonate his own unique brand of post-national, mind-fucker nihilism. His sculptures are elemental and essential, fascinated with death and violence, critical of the fake and phony, and ever aware of just how dark the world can be.
