EntomologistSteven Kutcherhas worked as a wrangler of creepy-crawly crawlies on moving-picture show like Arachnophobia , Jurassic Park , and James and the Giant Peach . But his artist interest in insects and arachnids go beyond the silver silver screen . He also dips their bodies in pigment and places them on a canvas , get his tiny artists make unusual body of work of art .
Kutcher explicate that he crap these paintings to enable us to receive insect and arachnid movement in a different way :
I have made visible the concealed world of the louse footprint . When an insect walks on your helping hand , you may sense the legs move but nothing seeable remains , only a sensation . These works of art fork up these insect tracks and route seeable , producing a visually pleasing piece while conveying pertinent , scientific data .
Kutcher is also heedful to clean the bugs once they are done paintings , saying that they number our of the experience on the face of it unhurt . When the hemipteron die , he prefers to exhibit each tiny artist alongside the piece it painted , making art out of both the house painting and the once - endure instrument that brought it into being . Kutcher sells DVDs , cards , and prints of his artistic production athis website .
