Gabriels “New Toys For Melancholics” At Toy Art Gallery
Opening up on May 6th, Toy Art Gallery will bring a new exhibition by Pop Surrealist sculptor and philosopher Gabriels. “New Toys For Melancholics” will see the polished hand-crafted bronze, life-like glass eyes, and scores of tiny internal intricate elements and organs that make up the artists sculptures.
In the words of the artist himself: ““Let it be clear: these are not sculptures, but toys and more precisely prototypes of Toys for Melancholics.” And he also adds, “…our Toys for Melancholics scrupulously respect all the standards of global melancholy quality in a petrified primeval landscape, addressing courageously to a public of adults, kiddies and lithopaedia.”
The exhibition opens on May 6th. See some of the work below.
