Interesting Artist of the Day - Tanya Schultz and Twalst

With an overpoweringly colorful and sweet visual style, Australian artist Tanya Schultz creates dazzling works of candy floor art that will make you feel like you just visited Candyland and ate the whole place down to the ground.

Her art doesn’t just look sweet – it is sweet. Tanya (who started creating these works together with artist Nicole Andrijevic as Pip & Pop before they parted ways) uses candy, sugar, beads, toys and other hyper-colorful materials to create these works of art.

Artist: TWALST

In an unexpected but effective mix of unlikely media, artist Talwst has created a series of miniature dioramas inside of antique ring boxes that capture wide array of scenes from various historical periods.

According to the artist, the idea for this series of miniature dioramas came about when a street vendor in Paris handed him an antique ring box and told him “I want to see what you make with this.” Talwst created a scene of a figure emerging from the sea and has been creating tiny scenes ever since.

The antique nature of the ring boxes he uses, as well as subtle details used in his tiny dioramas, help drive home his focus on history; “I want the viewer to open the box and feel they have been transported to another world,”
