In addition to showing their existing work, each artist has been asked to complete a frontal view of a skull in their own style using a template we provided. These skulls will then be split apart (digitally) and combined with other artist’s skulls to create a dynamic and unique collection of skull art prints. Each skull will be comprised of the work of two different artists, one from Skull-A-Day and one from Street Anatomy. At the end of the exhibition the respective skull halves will be brought together allowing them to see each artist’s complete skull piece. To kick it off, Vanessa and Noah have created their own original mash-up for the show poster!

The show opens with a reception at the museum on Friday, May 31, 2013 from 5-9pm.

Don’t forget about the Skull Mail Art portion of our show! It’s a chance to get your skull in our exhibition!

Fruit and Veg Skull Carvings by Dimitri Tsykalov

We’ve had a load of people sharing these fruit and veg skulls by Dimitri Tsykalov with us on our SAS Facebook page so we decided they definitely needed to feature on the infamous walls of our proud society.

These skull fruit and vegetable designs are lush and the photography of the skull sculptures is bang on too.
