Candy Animals presents a cavalcade of uncanny creatures matched in whimsy by their absurd yet perfectly logical titles. Olympic Mascot Testosterone-Tyyne, Kissy-Lips Hot-Dog on Duck Feet, Lion Wannabe Unicorn in Vantaa Windbreaker and Limoncello Bambi invite viewers into an imaginative world that is uniquely Anoschkin's. Her extravagant menagerie introduces a wondrous array of curious new creatures, who appear alongside familiar acquaintances from her earlier oeuvre.
Featuring works on loan from the artist and private collections, the exhibition presents a representative sample of Anoschkin's exuberant signature style. Some of the glass sculptures are previously unseen works that were made especially for this spring 2025 exhibition.
