About: Alake Shilling’s colorful paintings and ceramics bring a playful world of cute animals to life, inspired by the nostalgic charm of Lisa Frank’s rainbow universe. Her style blends Peter Saul’s psychedelic Pop art with disco album covers and California Funk, creating a joyful, comforting aesthetic. Exhibited at venues like the Hammer Museum and Felix Art Fair, Shilling’s work reflects her dream of a world where cuddly creatures offer acceptance and empathy to their human friends.
