Francis Upritchard: A Long Wait August 17, 2012

Francis Upritchard walks the line between fine art and kitsch fantasy sculpture. She aims to create figurative sculpture that simultaneously takes a look back at the history of the art form as well as peering into its future. The small, humorous figures made out of techno-color painted clay take on nonsensical poses and often exist in specially tailored environments--such as under glass domes or on cupboards, tables and chairs--in order to emphasize both their diminutive scale and whimsical character.
