The Beautiful and Eerie Sculptures of Lucy Glendinning


When I first discovered Lucy Glendinning's work through Beautiful Decay a few years ago, I felt like I was looking at something not supposed to be seen. Her creations are intriguingly eerie, faintly disturbing, and fiercely stunning.

The British artist from Somerset blends the human figure, poetry, and philosophical questions to produce intricate sculptures that are simultaneously creepy and engrossing to look at. Browsing her website is like venturing into a mix of the familiar and unknown. Some look like scientific specimens, others seem like characters from a horror movie, and others are visualizations of serenity.


Lucy studied sculpture at the University of the West of England, Bristol. After college, she apprenticed for Elisabeth Frink, where she learned how to make molds and castings with wax which influenced her work to this day.







What the hell was she thinking when she did these?

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.

If you're looking for the most artistic skateboards in town, then you just have to head to The Skateroom . They sell decks that feature the work of legendary artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Ai Weiwei. Just recently, the company has teamed up with Vik Muniz to produce these beautiful decks that are true collector's items. They don't come cheap though. Each skateboard will set you back $350.

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.
