SUN YUAN AND PENG YU ART WORKS

By -
Artists known for using DEAD BABIES and human fat in their creations have unveiled shockingly realistic fallen angel installation Artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu are famous for their controversial artwork They use unusual materials for art including baby cadavers and human fat 'Angel' depicting old woman with wings and has shocked many art lovers Their work has previously featured at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Sun Yuan and Peng Yu are two of China’s most controversial artists, renown for working with extreme materials such as human fat tissue, live animals, and baby cadavers to deal with issues of perception, death, and the human condition. In Old Person’s Home Sun & Peng present a shocking scene of an even more grotesque kind. Hilariously wicked, their satirical models of decrepit OAPS look suspiciously familiar to world leaders, long crippled and impotent, left to battle it out in true geriatric style. Placed in electric wheelchairs, the withered, toothless, senile, and drooling, are set on a collision course for harmless ‘skirmish’ as they roll about the gallery at snail’s pace, crashing into each other at random in a grizzly parody of the U.N.dead.
Art lovers were shocked by a 'fallen angel' installation that was unveiled in Beijing this week. The extremely realistic work was created by Chinese artists, Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. The pair are known for blurring the lines between art and reality by using materials such as human body fat in their work. Their latest piece, entitled 'Angel', has just been installed in China's capital, reported People's Daily Online. The disturbing sculpture depicts an old woman lying tangled on the ground. To illustrate her fall from grace, the woman also sports featherless wings on her back. The artists created the piece using silica gel, fiberglass, stainless steel and woven mesh. However, these materials are pretty tame for the pair.
They have been known to use human fat tissue, live animals and baby cadavers in order to challenge perceptions about death and the human condition. Thought provoking: Yuan and Yu use their art to challenge perceptions about death and the human condition Blurred lines: Passersby stare at latest installation which shows the tension between surrealism and realism The artists say that their latest installation is designed to illustrate the tension and changes between surrealism and realism In a statement on their website, they explained: 'The angel, a transcendent being, has become powerless, unable to carry out God's will, or to help those who believe in its existence.' One of the duo's previous works, titled 'Old Persons Home', also focused on the older generation.
The installation, created in 2007, was made up of sculptures of geriatric old men, which looked suspiciously like world leaders. Rather than being a static piece, the models were placed in electric wheelchairs and left to bump into each other at random. Both 'Angel' and 'Old Persons Home' have also been displayed at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

By -

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
