The self-taught artists Guo Fengyi (1942 - 2010), Sava Sekulic (1902 - 1989) and Charles Steffen (1927 - 1995) all created works that suggest metamorphosis, depicting the human form in an interim phase between a beginning and a future shape. These otherworldly, transfigured bodies reveal hidden organisms that appear to have been gestating inside their hosts.
