Andres Serrano an American artist, who expresses his art through taking photos of works using his own or others urine or feces, other body fluids and dead bodies. He was born in 1950, August 15 in New York. He studied in the school of arts, Brooklyn. He was popular for his works in race and religion. His artworks were quite controversial; due to the reason that he used to submerge religious icons in his own urine one of them were "Piss Christ", a photograph of a crucifix submerged in a glass container filled with his own urine. Supposedly, “Piss Christ” was believed to be destroyed by Christian protesters. Another area of his work, included taking photographs of people with their faces covered. This line of work showed the reality of homeless, the abused, and the neglected, hiding behind a costume. The next subject he used to work on was the photographs of human sexuality. The museum of Los Angeles brought his work called “A History of Sex” to west coast. His goal was to educate people about human sexuality. As Serrano said “You can’t have the sacred without the profane”. He knew about the controversies but he still did what he thought was right, to confront the public.
