Meaty Masks

Carnivorous Art by Dimitri Tsykalov

Dimitri Tsykalov creates art fit for carnivores. It isn’t enough to put me off eating meat but those who are more squeamish might be put off. Using naked models and covering them in meat fashioned as masks, armor, weapons and very occasionally clothing, Dimitri Tsykalov explores meat as an artistic tool.

The models probably had to take several showers after posing for these shots. There’s no denying that Dimitri Tsykalov’s art is controversial but it’s also mesmerizing.
