The Transhumanist Freakshow Art of Patricia Piccinini

The Transhumanist Freakshow Art of Patricia Piccinini

They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate.” – Edmund Burke

Modern art galleries around the word proudly display the bizarre and perverse multi-medium works of Patricia Piccinini. Notably, John Podesta promotes her pieces and went so far as to help the Australian artist launch a show in 2005. She is also said to be the favorite artist of John’s brother, Tony Podesta. The two are major players in pushing the Overton Window within the art world.
The city of Canberra in 2013 commissioned Piccinini to design a Skywhale for its centenary year. She produced a hideous “hot air balloon in the shape of a tortoise-like animal featuring huge dangling udders made from four hectares of nylon.” The balloon cost city taxpayers $300,000. Obscene in every way.
In art, there is deliberate intention in everything. True art does certainly allow for imagination and fantasy. But for something to be classified as art, it should be appreciated primarily for its beauty or emotional power.
In a 2014 interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Piccinini gave hints about her intent with her anti-nature, Luciferian, inverted artwork: “It’s about evolution, nature – how nature is such a wonderful thing, we’re just here to witness it, it’s not here for us – genetic engineering, changing the body.”
Does this make any sense? Not to me.
Piccinini’s “art” illustrates an obsession with demons, children and genetically modified human-animal hybrids. It reeks of demonic pedophilia, showing monsters cuddling up children who just calmly accept it. The “artist” also appears to have an obsession with “rear ends” and scrotums.
Researchers interested in digging deeper may want to have a closer look at the galleries that promote her work: Roslyn Oxley Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery, Monash University Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art.
As the saying goes, pictures speak louder than words. Here’s a sampling of her work.

Art is intent, I'll agree with that.
"But for something to be considered art it should be appreciated mostly for it's beauty or emotional power."
From the authors reaction to this "art" I would say it definitely has emotional power. Maybe not an emotion he enjoys but some art is designed to challenge, not pander or placate. "Beauty" is completely subjective as well.
Goya painted some very dark stuff, was he funded by the Clinton's too?
I think some of this is art "insiders" manipulating the market to boost their friends. So? That is tRumps M.O. and I can't imagine a man who said he could "grab pussies" because he's a "star" and admitted he'd like to "date" his daughter is going to save us from the sexually perverse, rich elites.

This artist has the distinction of having most of her pieces owned by Podesta and gang of pervs so it is not just Trumpty Dumpty that needs to be removed from this planet.
I love "dark" art. But not gross... but that is just me. Most of the work that I created was very very dark. Those were always the pieces that people were most drawn to ironically.

There are a lot of creeps in the Art world and Podesta seems to be financing them.
Free speech is a slippery slope. Is this art specifically motivating people to hurt children?
I say this as a survivor of childhood molestation so this is a serious topic for me but have you heard some of Kid Rock's lyrics?
He wants to "paint" a cops wife's face "white." Where was the moral outrage over that? He was invited to the White House too!
Cherry picking what we find offensive yet forgiving those who do equally gross things on "our" side is my real concern.

I loath Kid Rock and his trailer park trash hillbilly gangster crap and always will. I find most offensive on every level. You are correct. I worked for a high roller that is actually proud to be one of his buddies. ugh. Can not hide repulsive!

I am sorry to hear you are survivor but happy you made it. Strong and brave.
