The Coconut Grove Arts Festival starts in Miami the other day, one of the participants of which will be Lewis Tardy, a talented sculptor who creates models of robots and cyborgs. He perfected the biomechanical style of his work over the years, having achieved perfection in creating vivid images from lifeless scrap metal.
“Art was not at the forefront of my family, but nevertheless, the atmosphere at home was quite creative. Most of my eight brothers and sisters were endowed with talents. We spent quite a lot of time drawing something for fun, contributing to it and the element of competition. As a child, I liked to draw comics, airplanes and cars. A little later, I began to pay more attention to human forms. At the same time, I had an early acquaintance with technology - my father was a jack of all trades, and worked as a repairman in a company that makes "old school" cash registers. He constantly kept me and my brothers busy with unrepairable parts. I was fascinated by the inner essence of things, understanding how it all works. Later, as a teenager, I devoted a lot of time to cars and understood internal combustion engines I am confident that my love for technique, combined with an interest in drawing, is at the heart of my work today."
Lewis has lived in Michigan since 1965, after graduating from high school he studied graphic art and photography, and even then technical subjects reigned in his works. In 1985 he started working as an assistant in a sculpture studio and finally found his calling. He spent many years in the studio studying technique and developing his own style before presenting his work to the public.
His works were born from the pieces of mechanisms that caught the eye, in each of which Lewis saw something more - an image worthy of embodiment in sculpture. He infuses life into scrap metal, creating from it the figures of people and animals, endowing them with a peculiar sexuality, motivation, movement, strength and grace. The result can be called flawless - it is truly living steel.

Lover of naked nymphs and sponsor of young actresses: The Real Secrets of Lewis Carroll
For many generations of children, the adventures of the girl Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass were the best, or at least some of the most beloved fairy tales.

But, perhaps, Carroll's love for girls is a myth behind which a more shameful (by the standards of his time) secret was hidden. And it's not even just possible, but there is all the evidence for that. What's on with
