Parma-based artist Simone Racheli’s work is both irresistible and grotesque. Using materials like paper maché, plastic, wax and metal, Racheli recreates everyday objects in the form of raw flesh.

His work is reminiscent of the Pop art movement and Bodyworlds, the traveling exhibition of human body plastinates. Especially cringeworthy is Racheli’s interpretation of an iron (see image at bottom).
