Dancers among us!

01/23/2013 by chicquero

“The inspiration for this book came to me one afternoon as I watched my son, Hudson, playing with his toy bus. I was trying to keep pace with his three-year-old mind as he got deeper and deeper into a fantasy involving nothing more than a yellow plastic box and armless figurines. At least that’s what I saw. He saw frantic commuters rushing to catch the 77 local bus to Australia. He jumped in place, mouth open and slapping his knees, joyously reacting to […]

Scotch Tape Series - Wes Naman Photography - Chicquero Laugh Funny - 32

Scotch Tape Portraits

01/03/2013 by chicquero

Forget special effects, prosthetics and hyper-detailed makeup; all you need to turn a willing friend into a monster is a little Scotch tape. Photographer Wes Naman used the unassuming office supply to transform human faces into bizarre flesh mashups, creating a unique series both amusing and horrifying, full of deep meaning and metaphor, both negative and positive, a social commentary that defies all common sense. According to Wired, Naman stumbled upon the technique while wrapping Christmas presents with his assistant when the two […]

Little People Project

11/03/2012 by chicquero

The ‘Little People Project‘ started in 2006. It involves the remodeling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place, photograph and leave on the street. It is both a street art installation project and a photography project. The street-based side of my work plays with the notion of surprise and I aim to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography and the titles I […]

Freya Jobbins - amazing toy sculptures - Chicquer Arts - blonde

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. An impressive sculptural work, an artistic exploration of the relationship between consumerism and the culture of recycling, certainly bringing your attention to the point with the absurdist humanoid forms. “My work explores […]

Zombie Portraits

10/15/2012 by chicquero

Nice portraits of zombified famous characters by Andre De Freitas, photographer and illustrator from Lima, Peru. Freitas studied in Full Sail University and got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Animation. But oddly enough, the concept of stillness captured his imagination, and he focused more on illustration. Instead of just drawing, he tried to imagine himself taking photos of his subjects. That way the illusion of stillness would be a little more believable, almost like a photograph. After that, his insertion into the world of […]

Jacqueline Lou Skaggs - one cent - penny coin hand painted arts - chicquero 10

Tiny Penny Paintings

09/28/2012 by chicquero

Jacqueline Lou Skaggs‘ penny paintings turn the unloved currency into tiny circular canvases with incredible detail. Aside from the impressive maneuvering of oil paint that recalls 17th century Dutch masters, we admire Skaggs‘ desire to rescue the runts of the capitalist litter, saving them from a life spent below couch cushions or forgotten in pockets. This small body of twelve works consist of images painted on found, discarded pennies. These pictures pay homage to, not only, the binding ideologies that […]

Leather kids

08/31/2012 by chicquero

Sabi van Hemert, lives and works in Rotterdam. Hemert creates sculptures that are a fusion between child and animals. Her sculptures have a quality of alternately denying and confirming what you think you see in them and what feeling they give you. Because it is not immediately clear what you are seeing, the relation between viewer and sculpture is more complex. “I create images that evoke associations with people and animals. I imagine the balance between the many conflicting feelings and thoughts […]
