From high BMI to the ‘GLP-1 look’: how weight-loss jabs are changing the face of beauty

Researchers and art historians are examining how weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro are reshaping ideals of beauty in art. Prof. Rosalind Gill and Dr. Michael Yafi argue that the rapid fat loss caused by GLP-1 medications produces a distinctive gaunt facial appearance—dubbed 'GLP-1 face'—which could become a new aesthetic standard reflected in contemporary art, similar to 'heroin chic' in the 1990s. Yafi presented his findings at the European Congress on Obesity, noting that while artists like Fernando Botero continue to celebrate fuller figures, future artworks may increasingly depict thin individuals with hollowed features.

Artribune Podcast: l’artista Vincenzo Schillaci parla nel suo Monologhi al Telefono

The latest episode of the Artribune Podcast features artist Vincenzo Schillaci (born 1984 in Palermo), recorded via telephone. Schillaci discusses his evolving artistic practice, where painting is an ongoing process of layering and erasure. His work spans painted surfaces, works on paper, and bronze interventions, forming an open system in which the artwork continuously transforms, challenging the boundaries between gesture, material, and form. The episode highlights his recent series inspired by Aristotle's concept of phantasma, and his exploration of materials like electrodeposited copper and bronze to capture different states of the image.
