Established Gallery seeks artists interested in creating "artist dolls" or what may be termed: mixed media figurative sculptures, dressed sculptures, characters, or fantasy figures...a 3D figurative piece which incorporates some fabric (if not a complete "dress") as well as something used for hair (wigs, fabric, natural materials, etc) and possibly jointed or poseable (but not necessary).
Most of the gallery artists have art related backgrounds such as: sculptors, graphic artists, special FX modelers, illustrators, theatre set designers, costumers, mask makers, window dressers, flat art painters, etc. The list of backgrounds is endless! many have an art school background which they never used in "real life" and find a creative outlet for their imagination in creating "Fine Art Dolls".
The majority of pieces are one-of-a-kind made from: polyform clays (cernit, fimo, etc.), paper clay, stone clay, papier mache, creall therm, hydrastone, silicone latex, wood, fabric, etc. Again the list is endless! Also there are some small limited editions ranging from press mold to repros in resin. Preference is for a small (5-10) editions.
If you are already making art dolls or have an interest in doing so, please contact me by E mail or via the Guestbook. I also welcome any comments and referrals that you would like to make.
Mann Gallery is well known by most contemporary fine art doll artists (who also do characters, puppets, masks, etc) and enjoys a good reputation with editors of magazines dedicated to this genre. This is a serious search for serious artists, and I would love to discuss the possibilities with those interested in this artform.
