Marthy Nasato’s intriguing work is part of the 13th Juried Emerging Sculptors Exhibition later this month, sponsored by the Sculptors Society of Canada, an event which also includes the ceramic figures of Magdolene Dykstra, featured on The Art Junkie this spring. Nasato says she strives to reflect human emotions in her sculptures. She is best known for her acrobats, and other figurative versions of the human form.

interesting art… enjoy it actually, the penguins? are very different from what I have ever seen.. lovely…
I know what you mean. The contrast between her minimalist acrobats and the big animalistic style penguins is so interesting. Different techniques, too. Thanks.
very beautiful and elegant pieces. you are so talented!
I agree, this artist is exceptional. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
The eloquent emotion of the first sculpture makes me happy inside.
I know, makes me grin.

Right, agree, and how could you resist?
The figures are wonderful, but it’s the penguins that stir the greatest emotion, at least in me. Such happiness conveyed!
Yup, with you on the penguins, absolutely.
Very cool indeed. I think the penguins are quite humorous!
All of us just love those penguins! Thanks.
