Street Anatomy

Young Anatomy in Art

Skeleton in the City

Young Australian student, Alyssa Anaimugan, does a nice job incorporating anatomy into her work.  These pieces have a slight street art feel to them. Hope she continues using the anatomical theme!

Updates

I apologize for the down time of Street Anatomy yesterday.  Apparently I have outgrown my webhost!  I’m in the process of switching over to a new host so please bear with me for the next couple of weeks.  There are lots of plan in the works for expanding Street Anatomy even more, so stay tuned!

Chris Elsasser tells me that while he doesn’t do street art, he creates “indoor anatomical art with lightboxes” using his own designs or actual x-rays. They’re quite unique pieces that would make a great addition to any room.  Love the illustrations, design, and concept.

They’re available for purchase on his website, Munstre, along with prints, shirts, and accessories.  I’m thinking of getting a couple myself to add to my growing anatomical art collection.

It Happened on a Sunday…

“Cupid and Centaur” (1992)

A very interesting image by Joel-Peter Witkin, an American photographer with a fascination for the morbid, sexual, and unordinary.

As a child, Witkin witnessed a horrific car accident that would influence his work later on in life.

It happened on a Sunday when my mother was escorting my twin brother and me down the steps of the tenement where we lived. We were going to church. While walking down the hallway to the entrance of the building, we heard an incredible crash mixed with screaming and cries for help. The accident involved three cars, all with families in them. Somehow, in the confusion, I was no longer holding my mother’s hand. At the place where I stood at the curb, I could see something rolling from one of the overturned cars. It stopped at the curb where I stood. It was the head of a little girl. I bent down to touch the face, to speak to it — but before I could touch it someone carried me away.

Look through his portfolio and you’ll see just how this experience permeates through all his works.
