Sculpture

Valency loves some Fun Guys

MushyYou asked, and we listened(as we always do, because we are awesome), and we have more images from Valency Genis’ “FAUNA” coming to Stranger Factory this June!

Valency has sculpted what seems to be a small nation of VERY expressive as-yet-to-be-named mushrooms. These fungi are all personality, and for the Albuquerque sun! I am starting to think the little guy on the left with the stiff lower lip is the alpha mushroom – all the rest follow behind him because he is all attitude.

Valency Genis’ “Fauna” opens June 7th at Stranger Factory with a reception from 6-9pm. Valency will also be teaching a workshop with Tim Lee on Sunday, June 7th!

 

Valency opens a can of WORMS

Got Worms 2We have seen some of Valency’s worms before, but it looks like an entire new brood is bred and ready for her show “Fauna” at Stranger Factory this June. These guys might not show you how to get around in Labyrinth, but they may be able to tell you the secret of life! This lively bunch may just be mounted soon if Lady Valency is consistent with her previous worm taxidermy efforts, but these are still a work in progress. We do love their full eyes and curious expression filled faces.

Tentacles and spots!

Our favourite Valency is hard at work for her show in June, and I believe that we are being promised a bevy of tentacles and spots! As usual, you can probably expect gorgeous wall mounts of taxidermied specimens, but we’ve been seeing rumblings of larger pieces, so stay tuned.

Valency Genis’ “Fauna” opens June 7th at Stranger Factory with a reception from 6-9pm. Valency will be present, and will likely make you eat tiny doughnuts.

Oddfellows and Pink Eye opens tonight at Stranger Factory and we hope to see you there! Good times and miniature doughnuts are on us, as usual.

Shown above is “Lucie and Ferr” by Doubleparlour, a pair of mischief makers if I’ve ever saw one! And – below are some of Chet Zar’s and Doktor A’s gorgeous and meticulous work for Oddfellows.

Chet Zar’s The Doctor.

We thought we would show off just a couple more images from  Chet Zar and Doktor A‘s Oddfellows before the spectacular preview is emailed out containing all the works. You might want to put a helmet on because these may blow your mind!

Chet has an abundance of stupefying paintings that are housed in hand sculpted and cast frames for the show. Just a couple to whet your appetite for now, okay?

We didn’t forget about Doktor A at all, we were actually just picking our mouth up from off the floor.

We teased you with some lab equipment earlier in the month.  Now we will show you Bradley Chloride as he concocts a new batch of emotions. Wait, isn’t there a scientist we know by the name of Brad? Coincidence maybe?

Get the eyedrops out for Doubleparlour’s PINK EYE

Can you contain yourself for four more days? I don’t think I can, because Pink Eye by Doubleparlour is spreading! The creations by the intrepid duo have multiplied over the past few weeks; we cannot wait to welcome the monsters and creatures of amazing strangeness and magic that inhabit Doubleparlour’s world to ours! Watching the video gets us even more amped up! I think the May show is at 11 now; going to 10 apparently wasn’t good enough!

Pink Eye opens May 3rd at Stranger Factory, with a reception from 6-9pm.

Doubleparlour Doubles the Fun for PINK EYE

Pink Eye

Seeing “work in progress” shots from shows is like seeing the sequel trailer for a film you have been dying for a conclusion on. But what is Doubleparlour showing here…is it one beast, two beasts, 5 heads and a devil? It doesn’t matter how many creatures we are seeing in this pic, they all look amazing. We can’t wait to see the paint go on.

Doubleparlour’s dazzling display of curating captivating creatures in their sculpts is nothing short of inspiring. Pink Eye is just a bit over 2 weeks away on May 3rd at Stranger Factory, and we will have lots more to show you, so keep watching.

It takes BOO to make a thing GLOW right!

BOO2Last week, we just dangled a spooky carrot, but we’re no longer playing hard to get –  here are a few more images of the Mini Glow in the Dark BOO SKELVE! These are the test pulls from Adam at Truecast Studios and sculpted by Scott Wetterschneider at Shinbone Creative. Both have done a stunning job! These resin beauties are just over 5 inches tall to go along with the sold out Mini Greeter that was released earlier this year, and a perfect older sibling to the Boo Skelve that will be in the Cardboard Spaceship x Circus Posterus mini series.

The array of colors are awesome, regardless of lighting, and the image below shows what these ghostly entities do when the lights are off. Now that we have seen two figures from the upcoming miniseries go a tad larger…what’s next?

Doubleparlour – then and now.

First figuresIt is hard to believe that the remarkable duo Doubleparlour have only been creating the amazing art we know and love for only 6 years!

To showcase this incredible partnership, we’re taking a look down memory lane. Above, you see the first sculptures created back in 2008 in what they call their “sculpey days.” Below, is a progress image of a piece in their exhibit PINK EYE coming this May! Both the old and new pieces are amazing, and their creepy and atmospheric aesthetic is clear and consistent throughout, but the years of practice shine through in the new piece, and the details are remarkable.

Doubleparlour’s PINK EYE opens May 3rd at Stranger Factory, and we are so excited!
