I warn you right away: with the work of a French artist Laurent Le Deunff it is not recommended to get acquainted with too impressionable and squeamish people, as well as those who are madly in love with animals, and are ready to tear to pieces everyone who shrieks at a cheeky yard cat or swings at a heart-rending barking stray doggie. No, he does not dissect the carcasses of the unfortunate four-legged - in his sculptures he reproduces a variety of animals, but he does it in a rather exotic format. Unlike other sculptors, Laurent does not strive for portrait similarity between sculpture and prototype, and does not pretend to be hyperrealistic in his works. His sculptures are very distinctive and original due to the fact that the animals depicted by the artist look sick and unhappy. Like zombies rising from the graves in the animal cemetery.
Fiberglass and wire, plastic and wood, as well as burlap, rubber, corrugated cardboard and real hair - all this is necessary for Laurent Le Douf in huge quantities, since the zombie animals for the Animals series are made of these materials. Small in size, they still look unattractive and even repulsive, especially when standing on illuminated pedestals in the semi-darkness of the exhibition hall.
The most impressionable visitors to galleries and exhibitions of contemporary art, in which the sculptor willingly participates, will probably begin to spit and lament that there are enough unpleasant spectacles in this world, and that modern authors should give people bright, kind and gentle … But the driving force of modern art is shock and shocking, which means that works similar to those created by Laurent Le Deunff will continue to appear in museums and exhibitions, shocking and shocking the unprepared public.

Eerie sculptures of hybrid animals. Metamorphosed Animals Project by Enrique Gomez De Molina
Inventing and reproducing new worlds that are inside ours, or even exist outside of time and space, artists and sculptors often inhabit them with outlandish creatures, the likes of which can only be seen in delirium, feverish dreams, or under the influence of potent "substances".
