Paolo Del Toro

“Paolo Del Toro is a British-born artist currently residing in the US. Originally trained as an illustrator, he began teaching himself sculpture and woodcarving in 2011… After settling in the US three years ago, Paolo was able to start making larger sculptures and began to experiment with felt. His current pieces are made of foam and needle felted wool.”

The artist describes his work as “obscuring the boundary between beauty and ugliness, the safe and the dangerous, the inviting and the repelling, the familiar and the foreign, the graceful and the grotesque…”

Kimberly Corday has a new body of textile work called Pelage.

“My process is Frankensteinian.  Borrowing aspects of weaving, embroidery, and collage, I make textured objects that conjure up an amalgam of natural phenomena like threadbare pelts, nests, or overgrown brush.

In this new body of work I dye, distress, and manipulate an assortment of textiles in a ritual that yields wall hangings both romantic and primitive. Much like the preserved textiles of a bygone era, this series spotlights organic, sometimes misshapen forms as well as the relationship between beauty and decay.”

Sara Nilsson is a Swedish artist based in Olsäter whose sculpture, made of layers and layers of paper, incorporates playful elements of illustration and painting. Nilsson’s subjects are immersed in a friendly, alternate natural world that promises their own personal fulfillment. “Her work portrays people who have flocked into the environment… Individuals who go their own way, follow their hearts, are strong in themselves. Their backpacks are packed with courage, dreams and longings. In their world, everything hangs together.” – Galleri Thomassen
