BEAUTY: Ceramics--Shary Boyle

Canadian artist Shary Boyle creates hilarious porcelain figurines that riff on the kind of dreadful little tchotchkes we have all seen in the homes of our grandmothers, aunts, or friends of our parents'. It is a Frankenstein-ish mash-up of tacky Lladro pieces and that Barbie with the huge crocheted skirt that fits over the extra roll of toilet paper on the back of the john!

Boyle is actually a highly skilled artist as evidenced by her beautiful representation of The Beast from Cocteau's gorgeous, immortal film "La Belle et la Bête." Visit her website to see some of her paintings and drawings.
