Pictures taken from Foley Gallery

I love these photos of warped looking soft toys. They exude a certain tragic-happy feel that is inexplicable with written words.

These mangled creatures are actually teddy bears which have been turned inside-out by New York-based artist, Kent Rogowski.

Said the press release on Rogowski’s photography exhibition:

In this body of work Rogowski presents a delicate and sensational series of teddy bear portraits. The bears appear different than ordinary stuffed animals. They have been turned inside out, re-stuffed and sewn back together, transforming them, creating entirely new creatures. The result of this enabled metamorphosis is a new kind of bear, sometimes grotesque or pathetic but often rather endearing. These new emblems no longer sustain the perfect image of childhood, but break apart this image into a complex picture of youth and development.
