Coolest Toy Sculptures

10/25/2012 by chicquero

Amazing toy sculptures by the Australian artist Freya Jobbins. Provocative, funny and disturbing at the same time, Jobbins has re-purposed old children’s dolls in an unusual way, by assembling them into three dimensional portraits known as ‘dollfaces’. Freya uses the toys in a way to create caricature-like facial features of a somewhat grotesque nature.

Italian photographer Fulvio Bonavia really impresses us with his surprising work made with edible elements. Bonavia merges the natural with the manufactured in his work, his last book “Matter of Taste” is really delightful. Love the fact that still life meets high fashion meets ingeniously creative… so clever! “Love of beauty is taste. The creation […]
