David Moreno’s Wire ‘Drawings’ Evolve

Spanish artist David Moreno’s wild, wire sculptures have evolved into more vibrant, kinetic creations. Whether carried in the palm of your hand or standing waist-high, these absorbing works appear at once erratic and meticulous. The artist was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 43, available here, and he was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.

“For this show he explores new territories,” a statement for his recent show at N2 Galeria in Spain. “On the one hand, experimentation with color to add another dimension to his sculpture. On the other hand, he goes a little further in the construction of imaginary spaces.”

Perhaps the best description for Moreno’s work is found in the artist’s Instagram bio, in which he offers four words: “Trying to draw sculptures.” In these new works, it appears that the artist’s success in doing so is becoming more and more realized.

Wisconsin based artist Kelly Jelinek combines the art form of taxidermy with upholstery to create her colorful and unusual animal sculptures. The name of her art studio is derived from the artist's last name, Jelinek, which means "little deer" or "little stag" in Czech, so it might seem no coincidence that she feels a strong connection to nature. But even more importantly, her work is faux and kill-free, and as a lifelong animal lover, she remains committed to making art that preserves the fantasy of animals while they were still alive.
The sculptures of Yoshitoshi Kanemaki bend and distort the human form. Often using the repetition of facial features as a means to explore the endless emotions contained within a subject, his use of wood adds a complexity to both the texture of his figures and the skill required. The artist was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 38 and he last appeared on HiFructose.com here.
After visiting the Chinese village where generations of his family had lived, sculptor Warren King decided on an ambitious, new body of work: One individual at a time, he would recreate the residents of his grandparents’ community using just cardboard and glue. The life-sized figures help the artist connect with his cultural and ancestral heritages, each its own emotion and moment in time. The backs of the figures are exposed, allowing the viewer to see their interworkings and hinting at the unfinished nature of history.
Doubleparlour, the husband-and-wife duo of Ernie and Cassandra Velasco, produce surreal figurative sculptures that are both fanciful and slightly menacing. The pair, living in San Francisco, move between complex scenes in resin or simpler, yet striking, single figures. Doubleparlour was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 22, and last appeared on HiFructose.com here.
