These terrifying creations by Tampa Bay taxidermy artist Juan Cabana have become contentious in both the world of art, and the taxidermy profession. Juan Cabana blends the corpses of dead animals together to create some of the most unimaginable and controversial taxidermy sculptures in modern time.
With an aim to make his sculptures as real as possible, Cabana’s chimera-style pieces are often mistaken as authentic and undiscovered life forms. See more of Juan Cabana’s work in the video title: ‘Sea monsters. Mermaids. Sensation history or macabre art.’
