Happy Rabbit Sculpture - Limited Edition of 8

Tosca van Oorschot is fascinated by nature. She creates botanic paintings incorporating female faces. The faces are mostly in flower form. She uses lace to make the faces fit into the botanic whole. The viewer can give his own interpretation to the dreamy scene. Her work is sold wordwide and presently exhibites in gallery Sous-Terre in Lithoijen Netherlands. The other expression of Tosca’s artistic zeal is the versatility of the realm of animals and wildlife. Animals don’t laugh, is the common opinion, but people can laugh about animals. We do not mean the funny clips on internet, but the influence of the artists hand which provides an animal with a comical effect. That is the specialty of Tosca van Oorschot. Her sculptures concern animals with human traits, eliciting a smile from the spectator. “I am motivated by the urge to make people happy,” she says. “I love animals and due to my light-legged approach I give them a comical appearance.” Examples are a laughing rabbit, animals covered in fashion from the renaissance, a hairy cow with a cap or a coat and a hippopotamus with a collar and a hat. Thus she accommodates animals with a joyful character and links them to a human touch. The sculptures are fabricated in neolith, a ceramic material (resin filled with marble powder) which makes the pricing of the works attractive for the admirer or buyer. She produces a mold and subsequently let the work cast in the form. When it concerns an assignment the works can also be manufactured in bronze.
