Brooklyn-based artist Nick van Woert‘s warped work kicks classical sculpture off its pedestal, subverting familiar visages with the help of insulation foam, plexiglass, and sculpted polyurethane adhesive. The resulting busts remind us of what would happen if you slapped a sculpture in the face with a pie full of Nickelodeon-style slime or gak — and held it there. More images after the jump.
