The surreal and satirical porcelain sculptures with social criticism by Penny Byrne

From Australia, the sharp eyes of artist Penny Byrne don't stop to perceive and look the world around, with a critical opinion about what is happening. Using her art as expression, she creates sculptures with porcelain figurines and other toy dolls, with a twist of the way we generally see them. The result are figures sometimes surreal, sometimes satirical, but always with a position about society's aspects that deserve some attention.

Sometimes with a funny criticism to the cult of beauty and its sacrifices that transforms women in just body parts, sometimes with figures that make ironies of international politics and wars, or even with the russian position about liberty of speech of homossexuals, Penny Byrne's sculptures are always provocative and challenging.

Paint soaked toys spreading colors in high-speed photography by Peter Schafrick

Canadian photographer Peter Schafrick is specialized in taking photos of products for advertisement. He is also a master in shooting liquids splashed, poured, thrown and tossed.

And that's what we see in his series "Toys". In Toys, the artist throws little toys in the air, spinning them, after soaking them in colored paint. The centrifugal force pulls the colored inks in spiral patterns. That's when Schafrick shoots using high-speed, capturing beautiful and colored moments.
