The Northwest has always been home to creative people who explore the darker side of our existence, and Corey Urlacher aka Goatus Art from Bellingham, WA is no different. His sculpture is an intense blend of images of decay and despair – a combination of the occult, medical pathology, horror and black metal. Each sculpture is an offering to dark gods, an altar of sorts. The colors he works in invoke rotting flesh and decaying antiques, and they look like the kind of pieces I would expect to hang on the castle walls of Elizabeth Bathory or Vlad the Impaler. Striking and terrifying, Urlacher’s sculptures give the impression of chaos but are simple and symmetrical in their symbolism. Urlacher is currently showing as a part of Curiosities at the Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco, and there you can see his work in person until September 7th.
