Thomas Grunfeld was born in 1956 in Opladen, Germany. There's not much information about his life or career on the internet except that he is most famous for his "misfit" taxidermy collection in which he combines two completely different animals together to make a hybrid animal. I didn't post his taxidermy work because its kind of creepy to me, but what I posted I really like. The Belphegor piece interests me the most. When I looked up the meaning of Belphegor, it said that it is a demon who helps people make discoveries and get rich from them. When I look at the piece I see a helpless, sad person, not a demon. It makes me question how he perceives demons.
