// “Undead Creature” by Skink Chen. (2018) Skink Chen achieves a strangeness as wild as reality, and that is saying a very great deal. His creatures could consort with anglerfish of the abyss and hold their own. His textures create a tactile reality that entangles my eye and makes my fingers want to touch. Anatomy and proportion seem both impossible and perfect. I feel I’ve been transported to the weirdest, most obscure gallery of some great natural history museum filled with secrets. Humor runs through this work, akin to the apparent humor of nature. Then there’s the narrative: what is this astonishing insectoid about to do with, or to, the tiny man? Is it warning, instructing, chastising, about to flick him off the perch? Only the enigma itself knows, but the pleasure of speculation is ours. Beautiful Bizarre Guest Curator: @forestrogers ...
