Amazing sculpted toys by Gabriels<\/a>: “\"gabrie11.jpg\"<\/p>\n

New Toys for Melancholics is a solo show by ‘Pop Surrealist sculptor and philosopher’ Gabriels<\/a>. The toys are made from ‘polished hand-crafted bronze, life-like glass eyes, and scores of tiny internal intricate elements and organs.’ It’s opening May 6 at the Toy Art Gallery<\/a> in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

‘<\/p>\n

Let it be clear: these are not sculptures, but toys and more precisely prototypes of Toys for Melancholics. They aspire to the industrial production on a large scale and to the indefinite propagation, in proportion to the planetary diffusion of the anguishastic-desperative Weltanschauung and of the consequent — very legitimate, although not absolutely incontrovertible — propensity to suicideness. In this sense, our Toys for Melancholics scrupulously respect all the standards of global melancholy quality in a petrified primeval landscape, addressing courageously to a public of adults, kiddies and lithopaedia.’<\/p>\n
