Sculpture: Bizarre Creatures


"Creatures from El" by Canadian artist Ellen Jewett
Available for purchase from Etsy
[Previously: January 2013]

These awesome and incredibly detailed sculptures feel like creatures who’ve managed to wander out of people’s dreams.
To Ellen, sculpting has always been about life; biological narratives, emotions, movement, balance and observations about life’s subtleties and overtures. Her aesthetic ranges from the hyper-real, to the surreal,fantastic, and the grotesque. Ellen’s creative process is truly her own, she enjoys making and engineering original material combinations to suit her needs.




"Swift Cat," 2013
"Roughly based on a cheetah but here again many liberties taken with anatomy. I am more interested in the flow and movement. There are lots of little birds and creatures hidden in the spines on the back of the cat."
