Bone Art by Francois Robert: Stop the Violence

This incredible Bone Art by Francois Robert displays the iconography of both weapons and religion, the tools used in war and the common themes that divide the enemies. Robert’s collection of bone art, titled “Stop the Violence”, uses human bones to recreate guns, grenades, knives and tanks as well as the symbols of the major Western religions. The images are stunning, white bone on a black background with striking detail. Ribs, hands, shoulder blades and vertebrae are aligned to create visuals that are unmistakeably familiar. Francois Robert’s art is at once beautiful and horrifying, a telling collection of art.
