i think its rather fascinating in the same way that a picture of dorian gray is fascinating. he may beautiful on the inside but is cheated by his looks according to society, or perhaps like dorian, this is a painting of a man who looks fab on the outside and who is rotting inwardly.

the title infers that we physically and otherwise change with time and that that change may render us unlovable as in a line that dylan sings, 'such a sad thing to see beauty decay, what's sadder still, to feel your heart turn away.'

I love it. Its brilliant.

This is the visual equivalent of a song by Nirvana, particulary something from the album "In Utero", I would think.

Kurt Cobain would have hung this on his wall, and so shall I.

I think that the name really makes this painting. It's like a cutting statement towards the observer, letting them know they might as well be a grotesque monster-human hybrid because they will be no more familiar to the distant ancestors that see them than the monster that the Chapmans have created.

I think I prefer the Ood.

cam, essex,

Great! Fantastic, gruesome and witty! Fine craftsmanship! Where do I send my cheque?

This is certainly no celebration of life and the attendant decrepitudes that claim us all. Love has nothing to do with it. One can only imagine how the Chapmans will cope when their turn comes.
