This is a collection of work from a Russian artist Oleg Duryagin from his recent show 'Naked Faces" at Interalia, Seoul, South Korea. Oleg has used several mediums to create these images, photography and then photoshop effects to take away eyebrows and personalising features of the face, he then blended and smoothed the skin down.
There is nothing new with these techniques but I do feel the simplicity of the end results are very striking and very alien like. I also agree with the meaning behind the art which is about making a statement of the relationship between a human’s inner world with a human’s behavior in society. That society still restricts behavior and thought of a human being.
It would be nice to live in a world where the value of ones worth is based on the depth of their personality, intelligence, heart and soul. In western worlds we have become so fickle and base a persons caliber on skin deep beauty and financial value because of this we now judge people on a media's definition of perfection.
