We like Christopher Conte’s left brain leanings and right brain tendencies. His work fashioning prosthetic limbs coupled with his Pratt art degree, interest in biomechanics, and knack for sculpture combine for a singularly unique talent.
Opting to market his unique works publicly for the first time, Conte joined a select group of artists represented by agent Les Barany in 2007.
A Respite
Conte slows the maelstrom of crowd sourcing and social network concerns facing today’s brand agents to a painstaking, hand-crafted pace similar to that of Persephone Books, previously featured on .think.
Both demonstrate that despite all the measurement and marketing data available on customer wants and needs, inspired ideas, services and products always rule the day.

His work is an amazing combination of science and art. I did an interview with Christopher Conte on my art blog recently, please have a look:

This is my first experience of Christopher Conte’s work, and I am really blown away. His website is really worth the visit folks, so do follow the link at the end of the blog post.
He does have a thing for insects doesn’t he? But on his site he also has a biomechanical arm that looks like a prop out of Terminator. This man is a genius, and I am grateful for you exposing me to his work.
