Gosia’s Bold, Emotional New Sculptures

Gosia, a Poland-born, Toronto-based sculptor, creates feminine figures with touches of the surreal, whether reflecting the natural world or expressions that extend from inside of the characters themselves. Each of these sculptures contain both elegance and emotional complexity, often containing a new sense of drama at each angle. The artist was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 41, and she was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.

“Beneath the Waves,” a recent piece from the artist, was recently part of the group show “Beneath the New Waves,” which explored underwater realism and surrealism. The sculpture, crafted in polymer gypsum, embodies the artist’s ability to use the body as both a canvas and foundation to create something new entirely.


“Color and line are important elements in my work.” the artist said, in a statement. “They help to capture and communicate the most important aspect of my work, emotion. I am a sensitive person, and while I create whatever I feel somehow gets trapped inside the art. The viewers feel that same emotion. It has become the norm that whenever someone talks to me about my one of my pieces, they inevitably end up describing to me how they feel when they look at it, as well as what they see.”

Madrid-based sculptor Irma Gruenholz refers to her work as "three-dimensional illustration." Her quirky style lends itself to imaginative scenes, which she renders in clay rather than digitally or in any other medium. In her humorous work, offbeat characters interact with one another or with animal companions. Many of her pieces have a storybook-like quality, as if they are part of a narrative we can't quite grasp. Take a look at some of her latest works below.
Korean artist Choi Xooang (whom we previously featured here) creates hyperreal, resin sculptures that shock with their unexpected, violent manipulations of the human body. His latest body of work features couples and doubles grappling with each other's flesh. In one piece, a woman's fist penetrates the back of another's skull while in another, a masked woman is strapped with a male torso like a backpack, carrying the weight of another's mutated and mutilated body. Choi adds eroticism to these graphic visions. The bodies he chooses to manipulate are graceful and model-esque, yet each one contains its own set of disorienting details that provoke our collective anxieties.
Figurative and boldly colored, Christina West makes sculptures that combine both serious and playful subject matter. Often, she employs scale to disorient her viewer and emphasize a certain sense of isolation. West contradicts their feeling of quiet loneliness with her loud palette. She paints her sculptures in a hot pink or bold white, a reference to the classical figures that inspire her. Take a look at her latest series, "Intimate Strangers", after the jump.
