The wooden sculptures of Kiko Miyares appear as distortions of the human figure, with viewers often circling the work in disbelief. While some of the work is horizontal, the majority vertically transform the body into a new, perception-challenging object. The artist’s toying with color further pushes the surrealism of each subject.
“Miyares reiterates that his point of departure is the presentation of the human form in the stages of his creation,” a statement says, as translated. “Moment in which the passage between a represented being and the object is explored, without forgetting the implications that this generates when acquiring a duality. These approaches are approached from a manual and direct work of wood.”

London based sculptor Rachel Kneebone is well known for her complex porcelain pieces that contain writhing groupings of human figures. Her work has been described as depicting an "erotic state of flux" and "celebrating forms of transgression, beauty and seduction," influenced by ancient Greek and Roman myths and also the modern human experience- you can find aspects of change, death, growth, renewal, and lust dissolved together in her individual pieces.
