These eerily looking dolls by Double Fox Studio are not exactly made for young girls. In fact these sculptures are made out of clay and are very delicate and were not created with the intention of being played with. They are meant to be hung on the wall or displayed on a flat surface.
Flavia Marele and Ildiko Muresan are the artists behind these creations. Each doll's core is made out of clay, while the face is actually drawn on and then sealed with a clear varnish. What makes these pieces so distinctive is their skeletal and ghostly appearance; if you look closely enough, you will notice that the clay forms a cracked effect, which makes them appear to be aged.
Some of the dolls are mixed breeds, with human bodies and animal heads. Others are made to look like produce, such as the doll that is sporting the orange skirt, which resembles a carrot. The Double Fox Studio collection is dark yet beautiful in a twisted way.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Skeletal Dolls
- Creating dolls with skeletal and ghostly appearance using clay and varnish presents an opportunity for artists to tap into darker themes.
- Mixed Breed Figures
- Incorporating animal heads to human bodies and produce-like props presents an interesting trend in creating unique sculptures.
- Delicate Sculptures
- Designing delicate sculptures that are not for traditional play but rather for wall display creates unique opportunities for artistic expression.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art
- Artists and sculptors can create unique and distinctive pieces that evoke a sense of eeriness and darkness.
- Decor
- The wall-hanging and flat surface display nature of these sculptures presents a new trend for decorative accents and conversation pieces in homes and offices.
- Collectibles
- The limited edition nature of delicate and intricately designed ceramic sculptures can create a new market for collectors and curators.
