Beautiful Monster | Photography Lady Gaga Would Die For

If Lady Gaga is looking for some fantastic new art to decorate her home with, Paco Peregrín's Beautiful Monster series is sure to fit in with her eclectic tastes. Peregrín's photos plays with the concept of beauty and what makes a person strange or alien in our society.

The photos portray people with their faces hidden by various types of masks, their bodies left relatively untouched and uncovered. These aren't the masks you usually think of though; these contemporary shields come in the form of makeup, hair, bandaging, jewelry, and even stones.

Known as one of the most interesting photographers working in advertising, beauty, art and fashion today, Paco Peregrín was born in Spain and has won many different awards and grants, including a Gold Lux 2008 award. Much of his photography reflects an avant garde combination of sensuality and danger.

Beautiful Monster poses the question of why people wear masks and whether or not they do it to hide, to enhance their inner selves, or to create a completely new self. These captivating images may not be to everyone's taste, but they'll certainly snatch your attention.

Check Out Abstract Art From Tony Dow AKA Wally Cleaver

scuplture As Wally Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver", Tony Dow (now 67-years-old) was the epitome of the "all-American" boy. Always polite and popular, Wally acted as the connecting bridge between his parents and his younger brother Beaver, often describing the actions of one in a way the other can understand. With all the sports he excelled at and studying he did, it's impressive that he ever had time for anything else but apparently he did because he's now an accomplished abstract artist. Well, Tony Dow is the artist but people are probably still calling him Wally. Dow's sculptures have been exhibited all over, including at the Louvre in Paris, and this weekend can be seen at the Debilzan Gallery in Laguna Beach. Over 30 of his pieces in steel, wood, and bronze will be shown and are expected to bring in several thousand dollars from art collectors. The opening reception will be held on Saturday and despite Dow's talent, many guests may show up just to spot Wally Cleaver in the flesh.
