“We share our home planet Earth with other species,” she reflected in an interview with Stereolux, “and we may be the most evolved because we can manipulate our environment the most, but I think that this comes with an arrogance from us which has proven detrimental.”

Most known between her pieces are her giant bunnies, lit from within, Parer explains that she enjoys playing with scale as it offers a chance for humans to feel small, and to experience a sense of humility. “There is also the added effect which is that it allows people to enter a space of fantasy,” she notes. “Either way, I aim for it to be a journey.”

Employing scale, light, and humor entices the audience, and demands their attention. The giant installation also serve to stimulate the imagination while offering scope for reflection about our state with the natural world.

“I love art because it is so varied,” admits Parer. “Personally, I enjoy art that is responding to what is happening now, therefore my work explores man’s relationship with the natural world and our role within it. I present my artwork to promote discussion.”

“Play is one of the most important foundations of our practice together,” they stressed in an interview with Art of Choice. “Play is a tool for working together within a loosely structured arena,” they add. “When we play, we enter into a realm that acknowledges reality and knowingly diverts it. Play forces us to constantly shift our perception into a realm that brings to light the wondrous, the magical, and the humorous in the everyday. Play questions what’s possible and explores new potentials.”

It’s this experimental attitude that drives their work, making room for new discoveries. “We take our play very seriously, and we apply a rigor and a focus to playful ideas that help projects realize a different potential,” say the artists.

Symbolically, play was also what brought the two together. “When we met, part of getting to know each other was through playing drawing games and doing craft projects together,” they recalled. “We started to take this play more and more seriously, and realized that there was an audience for what we were doing.”

With more than 35k fans on Instagram, there is, indeed, an audience for what they’re doing.

In one series – called the Portals Series – he creates stunning installations (which he calls Portals or Icosahedrons) out of titanium, LED lights, and transparent mirrors. According to James, he was greatly inspired by the historical cosmology of Plato. “The Icosahedron is the highest and most beautiful geometric shape of the five platonic bodies and is associated with the element water,” he said. “Water is all about flow, movement, and unity.”

“Anthony James’ work takes up the concepts of the universal and transcendental in order to demonstrate the impossibility of their representation,” art historian Rachel Baum went on to explain. “The historical cosmology of Plato is a primary inspiration, both for the sculptures of icosahedrons and for the silhouette of Baroque architecture Francesco Borromini’s dome for Sant’Ivo in Rome.”

Exhibited internationally in galleries, museums, and art fairs, James’ art is best experienced live. But you can catch some sprinkles of magic online, through his Instagram page.

Known around the world for her unique approach, she makes large scaffold structures adorned with neon geometric patterns and shapes often incorporating positive messages that are hand-painted onto plywood.

But with all that, it’s hard to put a finger on what exactly is it Myerscough does. “I’m not a graphic designer, illustrator, architect or a sculptor, but maybe I’m all of those things,” she considered in an interview with Elephant. “It’s about mindset and trying to create something for people to feel they are part of. My mantra is the Chinese proverb ‘Make happy those that are near and those that are far will come.'”

Mostly working based on commissions, she admits she prefers having big projects (quite literally). “But, I wouldn’t want to do it all the time: it’s manual work,” she adds. “I don’t like repeating things. I do repeat symbols and motifs in my work but I don’t like the idea of repeating projects. I am obsessed with the paint being really flat and the color to be really deep and the edges being really perfect. People ask why I don’t use vinyl, it’s just that I like doing mechanical things by hand.”

Enter her magical worlds:

Beginning as a street artist she soon exhibited her works around the world, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Turkey, France, Italy, Poland, and Costa Rica (among others). Using her art as a call for action, she doesn’t shy away from politics or activism and is an avid supporter of women’s rights, equality, and freedom of expression.

“When I was a little girl, there was nothing in the department stores,” she recalled her love story with crochet in an interview with Spear’s Magazine.

“As a kid I learned to crochet a little. It was something to do when I was growing up; we had to reinvent what we had, to make something out of it. I spent a whole week collecting the tin caps from the milk we got every day to make art. I would collect the shiny paper when we had chocolate and make something out of it. I really hate it when artists say, ‘I can’t work because I don’t have materials.’ Find your own materials! Find your own!”

“It wasn’t my dream to be an artist,” she admitted. “My dream was to have a different life. In Poland I wouldn’t have the chance to have my own life. By moving here I could write my own life, the story that I want to have.”

Take a look at some of her incredible artwork.

The artists now spread out in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, large-scale experiential installations, live performances, and more recently, virtual reality and animation, making FWY an artistic movement more than anything.

Their sculptures and paintings, inflatables, and objects are meant to trigger playfulness, laughter, and inquisitiveness, with an end result of feeling connected. Influenced by the simple happiness found in everyday life, FWY’s work is designed to be accessible to all. Sounds like a plan!

“I make sculpture and installations that elevate the vernacular and inspire awe and understanding,” she writes on her website. “In the context of knots, I bring aesthetics to the intersection of function, science, and history to illuminate what’s most fascinating about knots: the journey of the line.”

Chien is best known for her 2016 work, The Year of Knots, in which she learned a new knot every day for a year. “The Year of Knots isn’t about inventing, but rather about learning how knots work—and about revealing their beauty to others,” reads her website. “She wanted to bring out the aesthetic side of this functional practice through focusing on a single knot a day and helping others to really see it, separated from the context in which it might be used.”

Her works are very pleasing to the eye, proving once and for all that art is judged by its performance and not by the materials themselves. Take a look!

Tanya Schultz, the Australian artist behind the fantasy land, started her project back in 2007, along with her friend and fellow artist Nicole Andrijevic. Now, Schultz works alone or collaborates with other friends, recreating the rainbow-colored settings that became her trademark.

“I’m interested in imagined worlds, places that only exist in stories or in our imagination,” said Schultz in an interview with Hot ‘N’ Gold magazine. “But I also find traveling super inspirational – going to new places, discovering traditional crafts, flea-markets, visual details, new people and their stories.”

“My work seems to have gotten more and more intensely colorful over time – vibrant and fluorescent colors that are quite psychedelic,” she adds. “Sometimes I step back and think… oh dear, what have I done!? So much color it could make you fall over.”

Hold on to your seats!
