Think this is the first Damian Hurst piece I've appreciated!! It is a statue of St Batholomew who was flayed alive. He carries his skin, a scalpel and scissors.
Yikes! Gruesome subject but very well done. Reminds me of a human anatomy exhibit I went to a number of years ago which was fascinating to me as a retired nurse.
@kjarn he looks anatomically correct @wendyfrost it's just missing the dripping blood! @randystreat bit like the chap who made setbout of embalming bodies and organs, but in metal!
@carole_sandford your ceiling may not be high enough! @Dawn it certainly is! @salza I don't like much if his work, but this was quite compelling @haskar and displayed in such an old ornate niche @wakelys but also beautiful
@ludwigsdiana getting the light on him was a tadk! @elza thank you @grammyn his stuff is wierd and often macabre!! @joysabin it is I suppose @narayani yes, I said that and then a double wow when saw who artist is
