Midweek Muse - Les Deux Garcons
Les Deux Garcons is the creative duo of Michel Vanderheijden van Tinteren and Roel Moonen from the Netherlands. They construct sculptures from ethically sourced taxidermy, ribbons, and fringe.
I'm not typically a huge fan of "rogue" taxidermy where artists Frankenstein together chimera creatures or dress dead animals up in ridiculous outfits. I've always believed there should be a certain level of respect for nature when dealing with the remains of the once-living. But LDG challenges that fine line between absurd and beautiful.
