Relying on her 3D models allows Bennett to manipulate the setting, offering complete control over lighting and composition, as well as a vantage point to achieve a certain dramatic effect. Her recent models included a town, neighborhood, lake, theater, doctor’s office, and church.

“My earlier paintings are more explicitly narrative,” explained Bennett on her website. “Similar to memory, they are glimpses of a fictional scene that might move the viewer to consider the moment before or after the one presented in the painting. I am interested in storytelling over time through repeated depictions of the same house or car or person, seasonal changes, and shifting vantage points.”

The narratives she creates, using both models and painting, are eerily silent – a sort of horror scene that unfolds in front of the viewer’s eyes. Peek inside her miniature worlds in the gallery below.

It’s hard to put your finger on what exactly their collaborative does, but the results are sure to put a smile on your face. Influenced by the simple happiness found in everyday life, FWY started as an art experiment, creating soft sculptures as a means of spreading more accessible art. But what began as an experiment has long outgrown its humble beginnings.

“Our work is not only about positivity,” said Borkson in an interview with Fader. “It’s about facing the darkness with no fear and the entire spectrum of the human experience. Our work is a reflection of what we want for ourselves and then people have the choice to see it as they like.”

Designed to be accessible to all, their creations are a spoonful of sugar. Take a look for yourself!

Relying on simple materials, Chien creates sculptures and installations that range in sizes: from tiny knots that can fit into the palm of your hand to room-sized installations that are sought after by private collectors.

But though her techniques are simple, the result is anything but. “I make sculpture and installations that elevate the vernacular and inspire awe and understanding,” she writes on her website. “In the context of knots, I bring aesthetics to the intersection of function, science, and history to illuminate what’s most fascinating about knots: the journey of the line.”

Chien is best known for her 2016 work, The Year of Knots, in which she learned a new knot every day for a year. “The Year of Knots isn’t about inventing, but rather about learning how knots work—and about revealing their beauty to others,” reads her website. “She wanted to bring out the aesthetic side of this functional practice through focusing on a single knot a day and helping others to really see it, separated from the context in which it might be used.”

“The inspiration comes from mysticism and esotericism which touches on daydreams and the fantastical elements that haunt our nights,” she adds. “Within the eerie beauty of these ceramic sculptures is an exploration of the intersection between dreams and reality.”

“Stepping into her studio is like discovering an Eighteenth-Century Cabinet of Curiosity,” reads her website. “Her art is a collection of shamanistic characters which imbibe the peculiar, scientific and mythical qualities involved in creation.”

Step right in.

In an interview with Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Tsuchiya said he envisions his sculptures, “as if something is borrowing the posture of the animals and it’s suddenly appearing” in front of him. “Nobody has ever seen unicorns but I imagine the shape of them by knowing the characteristics of their horns as medicine and that they don’t get attached to, or domesticated by, humans.”

Tsuchiya goes through a rigorous process to complete each of his sculptures. A template is first created and then fitted on a block of wood. Afterward, a saw is used to remove the excess wood. After more carvings and sculpting, the piece of wood is then sanded to smooth out the surface. Plaster and paint are then used to finish the artwork.

Take a look at some of his enchanting creations.
