When I think of sculptures, I tend to envision classic Greek statues, but Gregor Gaida has completely shattered this go-to stereotypical thought. Instead, his work is like nothing I have ever seen before.
With a battling theme, Gregor Gaida seems to tackle both sci-fi and zombie genres in his work. Each statue is made out of wood resin. Based in Bremen, Germany, his work is currently being exhibited at the Galerie ADLER in both Frankfurt and New York.
