Entitled Ecce Animal, this piece will not only be memorable because it is an intricate skull, but also because it is made entirely out of cocaine.
Artist Diddo is known for creating out of the box pieces of artwork, but this time he as outdone himself. He has made a skull that is anatomically accurately done. There is perfect detail, all the way from the top to the teeth. However, the most unusual thing about this piece is what it is made out of.
This piece is made out of cocaine, and a bit of gelatin in order to hold it together. It has been compression molded, and that is how he was able to get the all the little details complete. Ecce Animal is a spectacle, and it must have been an incredibly expensive while attempting to finish it.
