Sculptor Richard Stipl creates disturbing, gothic, vaguely religious tableaus using hyper-realistic, resin casted figures that quite often are engaged in some bizarre behavior, covered in blood, leaking gore, or otherwise frozen in some horrific pose. A friend of mine said, ‘If you’re going to develop that level of skill, why would you use it to make such ugly things?’ I kind of like gross things, though, so it doesn’t bother me.

I think the pictures are beautiful. Death and gore are two fascinating subjects and I don’t think they are ugly in the slightest sense. I guess some of us are just considered “weird” by society’s rules. Eh. f**k em.
