Unconventional Creatures

Weird sculpture,creepy creations and at the same time elegant pieces of art.

Kate Clark creates part-human, part-animal taxidermy sculptures to draw attention to our shared primeval origins.They echo the insecurities of our human condition, wavering between instinct and rationality. 









Scott Radke's marionettes and sculptures are beautifully made hybrid human creatures. Radke instills animal characteristics into human faces and vice versa. Behind the disturbing first impression though there is a sweet melancholy that can one see in each of these creatures.





H. R. Giger is the creator of the terrifying life forms and their otherworldly environment in the film classic ALIEN. Fundamental to the nature of his work is his Biomechanical aesthetic, a dialectic between man and machine, representing a universe at once disturbing and sublime.

Each doll is entirely hand made using polymer clays, vintage fabrics, acrylic paint, and sometimes real human hair or teeth. Each piece is one of a kind.






                                                                   

Elizabeth Mc Grath has always had an eye for the strange beauty in the grotesqueries of life; this appreciation is nowhere more evident than in her work. Inspired by the relationship between the natural world and the detritus of consumer culture, she brings forth a new cavalcade of creatures from the darker corners of the streets, the city, the imagination. It is this melancholy interaction between man-made status symbols and suffering specimens of nature that make up her intricate body of work.







D.L. Marian does some  wonderful macabre creations. The main focus is on one of a kind Horror and Gothic dead dolls, Props and Mannequins.
