Beautiful ceramic sculptures by Orly Montag

Israeli artist Orly Montag has a knack for creating strange and intriguing characters using exceptional techniques and materials such as porcelain, aerated concrete bricks and terracotta. Her website is a treasure chest of unique sculptures. She sometimes posts progress photos on her Facebook page, so make sure to check that out too.

Montag graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in 2010 with a degree in Ceramic Design. The foundation of her work starts with the free hand carving of figures and objects, which are then duplicated in porcelain casting. In this duplication/ cloning act, the artist tries to remove the initial halo of the unique object and to examine the change of it one of a kind individual identity. Through manipulations and the use of these objects as building blocks, a new creation evolves.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
