How I wish I could visit the Science Museum of London to see these incredible wax anatomical figures, originally created circa 1810-1830.

Pumpkin Rot recently featured Bo Reudler’s Slow White furniture series.
Clearly, form trumps function…and the form is just a tad offbeat and obscure. My vivid imagination immediately envisioned that these are the outcasts of the furniture factory, who escape into the night to be happy misfits together.
They explore the forest and revel in their curves, knots and organically shaped pieces…so divinely unlike their homogenous factory counterparts.
This one is making a wish as he glances toward the sky…
A chair enjoys a quiet meditative moment before rejoining the others…

Wow…Eszenyi Gabor’s architectural sculptures are rather amazing.
Strange collages of style and form blend together in these creations (though I do have a predilection for odd angular towers). Perhaps my favorite attribute is that these structures look cobbled together with real materials…a far cry from un-textured architectural models that may be gorgeous but lack a certain “lived in” quality that makes one almost believe an imaginary troupe of tiny builders is responsible.
In addition, they cast shadows which are in and of themselves works of art.

Hello, everyone! I had a phenomenal guest author last week, but I’ve missed it here. What better way to express the maddening frustration of a hiatus (and the fact that my posts might still be light on the verbiage for a while to come) than with these sculptures by Maria Rubinke?
Although I have had health issues for quite sometime, these recent ones have affected my typing AND talking ability so I’ve been…*nudge nudge, wink, wink* tearing my hair out.
Been told in the past that I have a bleeding heart, metaphorically at least…
I didn’t see an artist site with a quick search glance, but see a few more bloody innards of innocence at the Source.

I really like something about Mike Peter Smith’s skull sculptures.
Perhaps I can’t help but find meaning in the art pieces I enjoy. I was just pondering the worlds we build in our heads…and here it becomes literal…
It goes both ways…

I just went through Mark James Porter’s entire blog to check out all of his sculptures (plus art and accompanying sketches).
I love his take on popular characters, such as the classic Alice in Wonderland favorites.
Look inside Humpty’s head. There’s knowledge in there!

This “Deady Boop” print from UC Studios caught my eye. Love this sculpture!
They have other prints as well…

This is a few years old, but isn’t a skeletal water-tanker morphing into a prehistoric creature always worth sharing?
Artist Jitish Kallat constructed this piece from steel, resin and paint as a commentary on the rapid transformation of Indian city life.
The rapid pace of India’s growth and unchecked urban development means that water is becoming increasingly scarce for millions of people. While pumps bore deeper into the ground and groundwater levels drop alarmingly, the Public Works Department provides a subsidised service to the people of the city, allowing them to buy tanker-loads of water delivered to their doorstep.

Thank you, Street Anatomy for pointing me toward Beth Cavener Stitcher’s Four Humors sculpture series. I had admired her work in the past, but was rather intrigued by these representations of Hippocratic medicine.
Sanguine – Too much blood – passionate, bold, impulsive
Choleric – Too much yellow bile – irritable, hostile, bitter
Melancholic – Too much black bile – depressed, anxious, moody
Phlegmatic – Too much phlegm – passive, introverted, rational
This must have been a powerful exhibit to see in person.
