Dolls are not always a toy for children. Sometimes they are created for adults, so that they can buy them for a decent amount and put them on the shelf as another example of their collection. Such dolls are not always pretty and attractive - we have already seen this more than once. But still, when looking at the works Shayna Erina (Shain Erin) I want to say that there is a limit to everything. However, see for yourself.
The dolls that Shane Erin creates can not be called anything other than creepy: the author makes zombies, ghosts, mummies and other monsters. However, Shane himself likes these creatures, and he even gives names to some of them. For example, a ghost in an openwork white dress is Cecilia, and the ladies from the Graceful Monsters series are named Hortense, Gastonia and Sespia.
Shane Erin has been passionate about art since childhood, trying himself in various fields, including painting, digital media and sculpture. Dolls are the latest hobby for the author to challenge stereotypes and preconceived notions about art. His work is influenced by world art, mythology and popular culture. Shane graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute and has had many exhibitions in the United States.
As strange as it may sound, Shane's dolls are incredibly popular. Take a look into it online store: only one piece is for sale, while 94 are on sale. The author's works are in private collections in the USA, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Norway.
