Pierre Matter's Steampunk Sculptures Belong in Batman's Art Gallery

French artist Pierre Matter has a steampunk sensibility when he pounds out these copper sculptures, exploring Gothic themes while mixing up man and machine in a postmodern maelstrom. He's been creating these crazy sculptures for the past couple of decades out of copper, aluminum, resin and other metals, and the suckers are big—some weighing more than 1.5 tons. These sculptures are not something you'd want to have sitting in your living room, but the prize-winning work has been deemed good enough to occupy prestigious galleries around the world. Speaking of galleries, click through our gallery below for more examples of Matter's work, some of which might be NSFW if you're working in a church or nursery school.

Working Gadget Paintings Decorate Your Nerd Cave

When normal people think of art for their walls, they think of something aesthetically pleasing. When nerds think of art for their walls, they think functional and electric-powered, which is exactly what these Flat Light and Flat Time pieces are. The Light is actually a light and the Time is actually a clock, both thanks to the embedded LEDs. If he could have only hidden the power cord instead of displaying it proudly, this might have been tasteful enough for a normal person's wall.
