Tearing Flesh…Lior Cifer

In an age of ill-thought-out crappy tattoos – I live in L.A., I see those fucking lips-on-the-neck every day – it is so refreshing to find those true artists who are still making tattoos an immense commitment and dedication. Lior Cifer is a New York artist whose intense images of death and destruction make their way into breathtaking paintings, charcoal compositions, and ink under skin. Cifer brings death to life – he makes you feel the pain and suffering of his subjects. The whirlwind of movement in his work surrounds you with gusts of death stench and it’s evil power envelops you. He creates sinewy layers that are bursting with anger and pain. Cifer also experiments with painting on different objects like cleavers, saw blades and clothing – I wish I had found his metal vest way back when I was posting about them, it is definitely up there with the sickest I have seen. The people who dedicate vast tracts of their bodies to Cifer’s evil artwork are definitely deserving of our respect. Check out some of Cifer’s impressive artworks and tattoos after the jump…
