Anatomical Portraits

Fernando Vicente Goes Under The Skin For 'Anatomias'

— April 16, 2009 — Art & Design
Anatomy seems to be a big inspiration for artists these days.

Following the creepy work of Koen Hauser, we bring you images from the photography set, Anatomias, by Spanish artist Fernando Vicente.

The first five images show anatomically correct human organs while the last five show them replaced by mechanical parts.

Implications - The rise of macabre themes in mainstream pop culture has catalyzed creatives to push artistic bounds. By infusing classic artwork with anatomical iconography formerly only seen in medical literature and in gory pulp comics, these savvy artists appeal to an all-new subculture of goths, steampunk enthusiasts and hipsters who prefer unusual art pieces that reflect their unique tastes and interests.

2. Anatomical Iconography - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Artists can explore the fusion of anatomical iconography from medical literature and gory pulp comics to create unusual art pieces that resonate with audiences seeking unconventional artwork.

Industry Implications

3. Publishing and Entertainment - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Publishing houses and entertainment companies can leverage the rise of macabre themes in pop culture by showcasing artwork, graphic novels, and films that fuse classic art with anatomical iconography and explore the concept of mechanical replacements to captivate audiences looking for alternative and visually striking content.
