Terrifying Hyper-Realistic Sculpture Of A Fallen Angel By Chinese Artist Duo
392Kviews
Beijing artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu have been known to create installations using real cadavers or human fat tissue, and though their newest creation does not include these macabre parts, it’s so realistic and unsettling that it might as well. This realistic sculpture, titled “Angel,” depicts a fallen angel in the form of an old woman, her wings devoid of feathers, that seems to be sleeping or perhaps dead. It was made from silica gel, fibreglass, stainless steel, and woven mesh.
The artist statement on their website cryptically reveals the project’s purpose: highlighting the tension and transition between the supernatural and the mundane. The angel, a transcendent being, has become powerless, unable to carry out God’s will, or to help those who believe in its existence.
According to biblical sources, Cherubim and Seraphim are the only types of angels that have wings (Exodus 25:20, Ezekiel 10, Isaiah 6). Hebrews 1:14 describes angels simply as spiritual beings; therefore, it is most correct to say that only some angels are winged.

I'm not an expert but probably all birds' featherless wings look like this, not only the dead chicken you cook. So this is accurate to me.
I never even thought chicken wing when I saw the picture! I just thought a vey old and tired angel trapped that had lost its feathers! Amazing how the mind translates the same into some totally different.

Because you totally know what a "real" angel looks like. You see them every day, right?
Are you an idiot?
He was referring to the accuracy of a featherless bird wing!
that's very cool.
a fallen angels don't have chicken wing nope nope nope not right
And when was the last time you've seen an angel?
...or a chicken that size.
what do you think bird wings look like without feathers?? -_-
have you ever seen one?
Its Art.
It's obviously a dead angel who's fallen because the feathers have fallen off the wings d'oh! And any featherless wing will look like that!
Mild sauce on my wings please?
Ur. Righy
I'm pretty sure the was when it fell it lost is feathers.
The point was*
It looks a little bit like a chiken's wing but just because we usually see them without feathers...
I agree, specially because chickens can't fly.
Barbora, no they can't. My parents raise chickens. Not the meat-chickens, but normal chickens who lay eggs. Their feathers are not shortened and they are roaming free in the yard, not in cages. Those chickens fly about 5 meters if they're scared out of sudden (by a dog, for example). I wouldn't call that a flight. A wing assisted jump maybe. Chickens definitely can't fly in a such way most other birds do.
