"Drawing from my childhood and teenage interests, my artwork is imbued with a strong sense of nostalgia. I believe that we all long to relive that moment of wonder when we first discovered the world, but as we grow older, it becomes increasingly difficult to experience new things. My works often convey a sense of journey, as if the characters are embarking on a quest to discover new things. The characters themselves are intentionally portrayed as naive and vulnerable, much like we were when we were young. Through my art, I hope to capture that sense of youthful curiosity and wonder that we often lose as we age."--- Felix Threadwell

 

One of Felix Threadwell’s latest works, "Twig Head," is a global limited edition sculpture created in collaboration with the renowned creative studio AllRightsReserved (ARR). This version is a wood carving that is limited to only 34 pieces worldwide. The protagonist of the piece is a semi-autobiographical character from my paintings named "Feelo." She is an innocent girl who bravely explores the unknown world. The sculpture depicts her with an oversized body, which symbolizes her strength and ability to protect another creative character of mine, a dinosaur named "Twig." The idea for the sculpture came from my fascination with the history of dinosaurs and the relationship between humans and extinct species. Through Feelo's gentle embrace of Twig, I wanted to convey the message that we can still connect with the past in a childlike and carefree manner.
