9.A Terrifying Snowman
While most winter projects seek to convey seasonal cheer, this particular snow sculpture ventures into horror zone with shockingly successful results using a somewhat different technique. The artist has shown how this harmless medium may be utilised to produce strong emotional reactions by turning the usually healthy snowman concept into something somewhat disturbing. The combination of the horrific alterations and the usually adorable snowman features produces an essentially shocking visual experience. The work is even more powerful because of the satirical juxtaposition of the gorgeous carrot nose against the otherwise terrible features, so deftly playing with the viewer’s expectations. While highlighting the artistic possibilities of snow, this ghastly masterpiece is rather effective in discouraging unwelcome guests. The meticulous application of the terrifying components reveals great talent and preparation, therefore demonstrating that even snow art with a horror theme calls for careful attention to reach the intended impact.
