11 Strange and Funny examples of modern art (13 photos)

Artists, in pursuit of inspiration, try different new directions. True, these experiments are not always successful. But art is art, so that everyone can find something close to them. In this post you will see unusual, sometimes funny, works of contemporary artists.





1. Leah Whittington, Chicken Bone Chandelier



Instead of crystals, this chandelier has chicken bones hanging from it. The overall form of the work is reminiscent of palatial splendor, but the material leaves much to be desired.

2. Daniil Kudryashov, "A new pick-up point has opened near you" and "He rushed like a pig"

3. The artist built a narrow house with narrow interiors and objects, Erwin Worm





4. Buc de Vries, Moments in Shards



Broken porcelain vases inside other glass vessels. In this way, the artist preserves the memories and value of historical pieces, even if they crashed.

5. Christian Jankowski, The Artist's Flag



How much does an artist's path depend on weather conditions and institutional connections? The artist created a flag that depicts himself hanging in the air, holding onto the curator's legs. The flag was hung on a building in Porto, Portugal. The artist and curator's legs are pointed in the direction the wind blows.

6. Robin Yeley, Film



The artist depicts famous paintings that seem to be wrapped in film. The idea came to him while jogging, when he noticed a painting wrapped in film in the window of a building under reconstruction. The layer of plastic creates the illusion of distance, as if the art is not fully revealed to us.

7. "Soft Pillows" marble, Hakon Anton Fageras



8. Urs Fischer, Drops



6000 drops of rain: plaster, water-based polyurethane paint, stainless steel, nylon thread

9. Gabriele Galimberti, Sellers pills



The artist took photographs of street drug vendors in Haiti. For many Haitians, street vendors are the main source of medicine. The vendors sell whatever they can get their hands on. They have been wandering the streets for years with this tower of medicine on their heads. They are not pharmacists, they are vendors. The photographer dedicated this project to the availability of medical care in more than two dozen countries.

10. Brandon Morris, Dresses



The artist created pale green resin dresses with ruffled hems and long sleeves. He modeled the garments after vintage Victorian children's dresses. The resin gave the garments rigidity and allowed each garment to maintain its vertical shape.

11. Tony Matelli, Bouquets, bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, epoxy resin



The artist creates hyperrealistic sculptures of inverted bouquets.
