The Fallen Angel Sculpture {PICS} by UncleSnr(m): 3:33pm On Jul 27, 2015
Yes, we know: how can a supernatural being be ‘realistic’?

But you know what we’re getting at. It’s too… human-like.

The wrinkles. The hair. Even the fleshy, furry wings somehow.

It’s very impressive no doubt, but it’s a bit weird.

‘Angel’ highlights the tension and transition between the supernatural and the mundane (Picture: Sun Yuan/Peng Yu)

‘Angel’ is the brainchild of Beijing artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu, who have been known to create artwork from real human corpses and flesh.

Their current piece is made from silica gel, fibreglass, stainless steel and woven mesh, Bored Panda reports, but that doesn’t mean it looks any less real.

The installation is intended to ‘highlight the tension and transition between the supernatural and the mundane. The angel, a transcendent being, has become powerless, unable to carry out God’s will, or to help those who believe in its existence.’
