Lucy Mcrae and Bart Hess

"LucyandBart" is a collaboration between two artists Lucy Mcrae and Bart Hess. they describe there works as stalking fashion, architecture, performance and body.









































In it they imagine human bodies and faces physically altered with a shocking but artistic realism. Creating a fascination with beauty expression and genetic manipulation. For example, the disturbed, electric-skinned, light-headed, border of nausea kind of way. To me, each transformed human looks either horrified or surprised or excited about their change of form. Yet these weird sorts of artistic mixing, which I found the colors are beautiful, but the shapes are unusual, are really jarring that make me feel creepy. I guess it’s the kind of imperfections and oddities that society mutated human shapes. According to Lucy and Bart, they stated that "They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement."
