This Artist Creates Such Real, Horrifying Sculptures That People Are Freaking Out

Patricia Piccinini is a very complex and talented artist. Her work blurs the lines between socially acceptable body norms and things that look genetically reprehensible. In particular, Piccinini's Young Family exhibit portrays a shockingly realistic sculpture of a human-dog hybrid family.

The mastermind behind this twisted, surreal art doesn't limit herself to odd species-bending sculptures. She also works with paints, leathers, and woods. Her creations are unnerving, but you won't regret the slight pangs of queasiness you feel when appreciating her art. Piccinini is a surreal, sculptural genius.
