Chinese artist Cao Hui’s modular resin sculptures feel like an awesome combination of classical art and medical science. Instead of being solid pieces, these sculptures fit together like 3D puzzles or stacks of MRI scans. They look like pale chisled marble on the outside, while inside they look more like us, with meaty red flesh and internal organs. 

“Chinese artist Cao Hui challenges conventional perception of inanimate objects by re-imagining their innards as something more than the inorganic materials used to compose their exterior. When fully assembled, the artist’s modular sculptures appear to be like any other finely crafted structure, but it’s upon dismantling the piece that one notices the insides replicating the color and texture of raw meat. Essentially, Cao gives life to a dead object with his constructed illusion, which is actually made of resin.”
