Unsettling sculptures convey the aftermath of confrontation and other iffy exploits


“Last Night Party,’ a sculpture by Javier Aguilera.
 
Sculptor Javier Aguilera hails from Spain and his strange, eerily lifelike sculptures look as though they could have been extras in the 1999 film Fight Club.
 

 
Aguilera’s sculptures don’t really tell us too much about how they came to be, and despite the fact that they mostly appear to have been on the winning side of a bare-knuckle brawl, it’s hard to be entirely sure.  From sculptures of hooligans taking what is surely not their first mugshot, to other battered-looking busts of people who (if they could speak) would perhaps quip “you should see the other guy,” Aguilera’s subjects all seem to be the byproducts of a Saturday night spent in the wrong part of town. When Aguilera’s work showed at the Gallery Poulsen Contemporary Fine Arts in Denmark in 2010, the spot-on words “provocatively aggressive” were used to describe the shows silent inhabitants. More images of Aguilera’s thought-provoking sculptures follow, some are slightly NSFW.
