Michael Talbot is a contemporary British sculptor whose works seem infused with deep reflection on existence and the passage of time. Through his sculptures, often female figures in elegant and delicate poses, Talbot manages to convey a subtle anxiety, an almost imperceptible tension that runs through the bodies he models. This anxiety is not expressed in dramatic gestures or exaggerated poses, but can be felt in the way his figures seem suspended between eternity and the ephemeral, between dream and reality.

John Morris is a contemporary sculptor who has managed to create a unique artistic world, where organic and mechanical elements merge to give life to creatures and forms that seem to come from an alternate future or an industrial dream. His style, infused with surrealism and steampunk influences, challenges traditional perceptions of sculpture, transforming each work into a complex and evocative narrative. Through his craftsmanship and innovative use of materials such as wood and metal, Morris explores the relationship between nature and technology, creating a visual dialogue between past and future.

The frightening masks of Nō Theatre represent one of the most unsettling and fascinating aspects of this ancient art form. At the heart of these masks lies a subtle darkness, a primal fear rooted in the unknown. The Nō masks are much more than mere theatrical accessories: they embody deep and universal emotions, and when it comes to horror, few artistic forms can express terror with such elegance and power.
