As the Editor-in-Chief of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, I have had the pleasure of working with many incredible Art Doll creators for almost 7 years now – for the magazine itself, our web blog, our curated exhibitions, the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine Art Prize, and of course, sharing their work across our 980,000+ strong social media network.
So as we kick off the new year and new decade, I wanted to share with you a list of artists whom I believe are among the greatest living and working art doll creators of 2019. This is not an exhaustive list by any means, and is not in any particular order, however as you will see the works speak for themselves. You may note that there are some art doll creators who are conspicuously missing, this is because I have not included artists with a minimal or no Instagram presence [my little tip for all artists: showing beautiful photographs of completed works on Instagram, rather than just works in progress, is very important], because as you will see all the artists mentioned below are linked to their Instagram accounts, so you can quickly and easily follow them too!
If you are an art doll creator, or know one that you feel should be included in our next list, please comment below. I am always in search of exciting new creatives!
Finally, the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize has a Yasha Young Sculpture Award Category, which Art Dolls can be entered into, to ensure all the amazing emerging and leading Art Doll sculptors around the world get the recognition they deserve – entries for this year’s Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, in all Award categories are now open! I can’t wait to see your entries.
Please note we have not included creatures in this list, only human/humanoid dolls.
