Artist Adrián Villar Rojas’ Surreal Beached Whale on the Floor of an Argentinan Forest
Argentinean sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas creates enormous sculptural works that seem like remnants of a science fiction film set, or bizarre moments from a surreal dream. One of our favorite pieces is My Family Dead (2009), in which the artist created a life-sized blue whale in the woods outside Ushuaia, Argentina. The beached cetacean is pockmarked with tree stumps, as if it’s being slowly claimed by the forest or perhaps it’s a native resident.
