Amazing, Polished, Insectoid Lifeforms and Human Parts Sculptures by Christopher Conte

Christopher Conte creates these amazing, polished sculptures depicting insectoid lifeforms and human parts.

After earning a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art, he entered the prosthetics field and began making artificial limbs for amputees in New York. Combining an abiding love for sculpture, medical science and biomechanics, the field enables Chris to apply his natural talents to help others in less fortunate situations, which he still does to this day.

In 2007, Chris began offering these unique sculpture pieces for sale to the public for the first time. They are each made from a combination of different materials such as Cast Polyurethane, Glass-filled Nylon, Carbon Fiber, Stainless Steel and antique metals.

His work has been recently covered in Wired, Popular Science, Make Magazine, and used by The Discovery Channel and MTV Networks.
