Flawless; The Enchanting World of Dolls

On May 11th sheer beauty and pure elegance will once again be on view at Strychnin Gallery. After last year's overwhelming success, the Dolls are coming back in a new exhibit.

With works by Marina Bychkova, the twin sisters Elena and Ekaterina Popova (AKA Popovy Sisters), Virginie Ropars, Eric van Straaten, Sakurano Iwanaga, Christine Polis and Benoît Polvêche, Flawless will showcase stunning pieces. These doll makers have spent several months working with the finest and most exquisite materials to create their visions of flawless beauty into masterpieces.

Since many of the involved artists take their inspiration from fashion and trends, these miniature sculptures regularly attract fashion experts and doll aficionados.

  4. These dollmakers truly are all GENIUSES! The level of detail and perfection of execution is astounding, mindblowing and really hard to even comprehend!

    Marina's dolls are my favorite, I love dolls that can move, and the Popovy Sisters doll, amazing. But again, all are mind blowing.
