About the Item

Although this whimsical sculpture by Allan Winkler has the look of outsider art, this ceramic work stems from the art school-trained artist’s interest in the Chicago Imagists. This group of artists added an urban twist to their surreal works by incorporating snippets of popular culture, naïve art, and the gritty detritus of city life. Winkler revels in his imagination with this fanciful series of ceramic figures, celebrating diversity and depicting the everyday with an unexpected twist. Winkler plays with proportion and gesture to explore the uncanny and represent life in a way that amuses and delights.
