It is quite obvious that no subject is off limits for sculptors. And this latest one of the soon to be (maybe) first lady Michelle Obama is no exception.

The sculpture is to be unveiled in NYC at the Leo Kesting Gallery on October 1’st.
The pope is irate over a sculpture of a crucified green frog with a beer mug in one hand and an egg in the other. The sculpture is on display in the Italian city of Bolzano.

Jennifer Maestre creates colorful abstract sculptures of sea urchins out of colored pencils. Maestre takes hundreds of pencils, cut them into 1-inch sections, drill a hole in each section (to turn them into beads), sharpen them all and sew them together to form a prickly, spiny wooden sea creature and the shading of each sculpture is obtained by varying the placement of various shades of pencil crayon.

Ok, this is just weird. Mitsy Groenendijk, a female artist from Amsterdam, makes some pretty fucked up shit. I don’t know if there was a meaning behind this, but whatever it was, it was weird.
