It is often said that children are privy to a certain wisdom inaccessible to adults, that their naivete allows them to gaze at the world without the cynicism that comes from a long time of living in it. In his large-scale wood sculptures, Italian artist Gehard Demetz presents children as powerful figures — knowing, self-aware and bold. A master craftsman, Demetz creates his compositions within a surrealist framework, portraying his subjects with a lifelike accuracy that makes way for the haunting details to creep in. Gehard Demetz took some time to talk to Nastia Voynovskaya about the philosophies behind his sculptures, as well as his creative process. - http://hifructose.com/ the-blog/1916-an-interview-with-gerhard-demetz.html

Wildly imaginative and crafty Argentine fabric artist and sculptor Alejandro Bovo Theiler creates weird totems and dolls from a distant past? Or a distant future? For sure, from another planet.
Whichever, he should make Del Toro’s eyes pop.
More in our flickr photostream and, later this week, an interview with the artist on our tumblog.
