Amazing sculpted toys by Gabriels

Amazing sculpted toys by Gabriels: "gabrie11.jpg


New Toys for Melancholics is a solo show by 'Pop Surrealist sculptor and philosopher' Gabriels. The toys are made from 'polished hand-crafted bronze, life-like glass eyes, and scores of tiny internal intricate elements and organs.' It's opening May 6 at the Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles.

'
Let it be clear: these are not sculptures, but toys and more precisely prototypes of Toys for Melancholics. They aspire to the industrial production on a large scale and to the indefinite propagation, in proportion to the planetary diffusion of the anguishastic-desperative Weltanschauung and of the consequent -- very legitimate, although not absolutely incontrovertible -- propensity to suicideness. In this sense, 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.'
