Australian artist Beck Wheeler recently produced a series of sculptures and illustrations that demonstrate her eclectic use of mediums as much as her whimsical tastes. The artwork featured here runs the full gambit of curious and fanciful. From electric egg-beater horses to pencil-holder dogs, the artist reveals the eccentric possibilities of everyday objects.
Wheeler renders her imaginative characters in explosively vibrant colors like blue, yellow and pink. Walking into a room filled with these quirky creations would be like stepping into a cartoon. Sometimes it is refreshing to shake the dust off of everyday life and bounce around in one's imagination -- or in this case, Wheeler's imagination. Her whimsical cast of characters feel alive. It would almost seem natural if her Egg-beater horse started helping you make pancakes.
