How far must we go for prowess ? Judging by the work of taxidermist / artist Enrique Gomez de Molina , holy crapvery far . For using a hodgepodge of endangered creature for his work , homeboy is face five age in jail . Beat that , Picasso !
De Molina has been make these loveable abomination for years . He claims that his art is a statement on the dangers of genetic technology and human intervention . Thing is , he illicitly import a host of endangered animal carcasses to make his work . Sounds a lot like human intervention to me . Is the irony part of art ? So many layers ! Genius !
From aThrillist interviewwith De Molina :
“ … I just like to recreate around , mix and check different animate being and create my own species . I guess I like to play God . ”
I never would have guessed .
De Molina has been charged with possession of carcass of the Java kingfisher , collared kingfisher , doll of paradise , jejune hawk - eagle , slow loris and a mouse cervid . They all total from Indonesia and it ’s a safe bet that they did n’t all kick the bucket of natural lawsuit . De Molina plead shamefaced upon his halt and is schedule to confront trial in March . This is probably pass to make his freaky creation rocket in time value , so if you ’ve ever dreamed of feature your very own squirrel - crab , there ’s never been a better prison term to buy .
