The Head of Arts


The Head of Arts

Pink, blue and red flowers blossom in a green prairie. Their sheen attracts the eye and butterflies sip their nectar. This wonderful land is a head. The head of arts I say. Philip Levine Philip Levine from the UK has found out this amazing way to express himself, to denounce his premature baldness. Yes, some will say it is not a deception, but it is a way for him to content himself by having a garden on his head, as he will carry his hair.

At least, wearing flowers filled with butterflies is ingenious and inspires others to think that they can have another kind of hair.
With this ingenuity, other artists will become environment friendly, saving trees by leaving canvas behind. Now, thanks to Levine, one can use the most visible part of one’s body, the head, not only to think but to craft, draw and exhibit art.

The Holy Virgin and the Tattooed Pig


The holy virgin Mary, mother of God, praying on the back of a pig.This is by Wim Delvoye, a Belgian artist excited by tattoos and pigs. Wim forces the mother of God to be on the back of an animal. Is the animal willing to carry this holy figure? Whatever the response, Wim decided to impose his will to them whether they are alive or dead. For him, works of art go everywhere and express themselves in any kind of situation. Therefore, he embalms the holy pig and its other mates that have his tattoo. It is his way to raise them from the dead then they could live forever as he the god giving life to his works. And it obvious that people defending animals rights are shocked at Wim’s depiction of animal cruelty. Apparently, those effects do not bother him. They are part of nature. There are pieces of art. There are the missing parts that complete his works.
