You are what you eat. Pinyar Yolacan's fascinating and provocative meat portraits. Oh yes, the push me/pull me is at work while viewing these. Attraction and repulsion, equal parts. There are many artists who have used meat as subject and medium: Rembrandt, Chaim Soutine, Francis Bacon (with that name, it was destiny...) and Jana Sterbak, Zhang Huan...
These portraits also recall Julie Heffernan's paintings.
I once asked my dermatologist if it is difficult sewing flesh. She said, Oh, no! Skin is a wonderful material, so resilient - it's so easy to stitch!
(I have a difficult time just cutting a chicken leg in half...)
