Korean artist Choi Xooang creates surreal polymer clay sculptures that appear to be both fragile and nightmarish. Gathering information about Choi Xooang and his art was difficult, but the theory is that his sculptures are screaming about human rights abuse in Korea. The figures are screaming, but are they heard or can they be seen? I found them alarming and moving.

Discarded dolls typically end up in landfills, but thanks to Australian artist Freya Jobbins, recycled Barbie and Ken dolls are being reused as a medium for her artistic sculpture. As reported by Designboom, her new series is the byproduct of her newfound passion for Greek mythology and her love for miniature detail and symmetry.

One of my newest obsessions in art is perhaps one of the oldest forms. Sometimes known as Hyper-Realism or Photo-Realism; this art strives to be as aesthetically accurate as possible. It's a fine line between realistic and interesting, and these two artists have perfected that line. Realist sculptor Jamie Salmon is a god in my eyes. In his own words he wants to, "make something that tells a story or moves people in some sort of way, not something that just looks very real...I need my works to have a certain degree of reality about them, but it`s more of a heigtened reality. This is also why I like to play with scale in a lot of my works as well. I think it is something that catches people off guard and forces them to confront their ideas about reality, and to also think about the idea behind the work more deeply." Check out this genius! If you wanna see more of his work check out his online gallery at http://www.avatarsculptureworks.com/index.html The second Hyper-Realist artist is the amazing young artist Roberto Bernardi, who devoted his life to photo-realist still-lifes. His work is breathtaking, and YES THESE REALLY ARE PAINTINGS! If you like what you see make sure to check out his website http://www.robertobernardi.com/
How cool is that? I made it all by myself, you know. Forgive me but I've been messing about with a vintage toy I found recently. And great fun it is too. In the age of complicated electronic toys and games, who would have thought you could get so much pleasure from something as simple as creating sculptures from bright coloured, interlocking, plastic octagons. They do say simple things amuse simple minds. Funnily enough though, what you could end up with is a very stylish object: a visual, light catching sculpture that would look superb on display in the window area of a modern interior. And your sculpture is, of course, infinitely variable for when you feel like a change. The toy is Octons by UK manufacturer, Galt Toys. I would guess this version dates from the 1970s. C'mon, don't pretend you wouldn't like a go too. (Added 27 June 2013) It looks like Galt Toys are still going strong today - and they're still making a version of Octons: Galt Octons

Wilfrid Wood, the East London-based sculptor, crafts absorbing, occasionally hilarious faces and figures from paper mache, plasticine, and polymer clay. Whether it’s Mark Zuckerberg, 2016 Olympians, or less public figures, there’s both humanity and vulnerability in Wood’s work. Since the end of the satirical television show "Spitting Image," on which Wood worked to help craft the heads in the puppet program, the artist has worked as a freelance sculptor.
