South Korean artist Choi Xoo Ang’s metaphorical painted, polymer clay figures are personal, literal and immediate. They symbolize abuse in Korea. If art is not relevant, in response to the society we live in, to some it may serve as meaningless. But even when someone claims something as not having any meaning, to others, nothing is always something or an effect from a cause. Dixie Rose

I must confess my oral fixation has been in a state of ecstasy as of late. And hands embody so much behavior of what never needs saying. But what’s most intriguing about Israeli sculptor Ronit Baranga’s imagination is mouths and hands come to surface and give breath to inanimate objects unexpectedly. These clay sculptures are highly psychological to me. Dixie Rose

I always felt the idea of a sculpture was that there be life in it. These come to life. They seem to be witholding something we don’t know. Some seem troubled, some are peaceful. Opposites have always been interesting to me in extremes. There is a certain intuition to them experiencing what’s around them, breathing. She got her Masters in Fine Arts at Pratt. Lovely. Dixie

Marc Quinn is the British sculptor responsible for executing the largest solid 18K gold sculpture made since ancient Egypt. Indulge in his Kate Moss sculpture named “Siren” (costs nearly $3 million in USD to make) as part of the “Statuephilia” exhibit at the British Museum this month. Quinn is well known in his element for his piece titled “Self” (1991), a frozen sculpture of his head made of 9.5 pints of his own blood, which was gathered for a period of five months. He is also to blame for converting many anti-modern art-Kate Moss stalkers into new born modern art enthusiasts. Included in the show were renowned Damien Hirst, Ron Mueck, Noble & Webster and Anthony Gormley. Dixie
