There’s something about these sculptures that make you smile. The bright colors, the playfulness…they remind me of a childhood experiment gone right. It’s not hard to imagine a little Nick van Woert up to no good is his bedroom melting candles and dripping hot wax over his action figures or his mom’s plaster sculptures. Or him in dad’s garage with the door locked repeatedly dipping things into cans of paint. The “Spitting Image” sculpture actually uses paper spit wads for the head. How rad is Mr. Potato Head too. I love this guy.
