Creative minds and art lovers!

Take a 5-minute coffee break and enjoy some art pieces I have created over on www.playinstitute.shop

These are a selection taken from my forthcoming new book "Art Pieces: Famous artists simply and playfully re-imagined."

This art project whose construction took great care,
has reached the time in its journey to open up and share.
The chosen works and artists were all selected by me,
for they sought or arrived at visions of simplicity.
Although many paths get explored, complexities tried,
eventually, we see where the simply beauty resides.
Simplicity appeals to many, yet it is hard to do,
it becomes a life goal and a very worthy pursuit.
Fine art, can be taken quite seriously, and yet,
it can be joyous and playful, let's not forget.
To play with colour, shapes and form meaning,
is a great way to capture what we are feeling.
Art lives on, beyond the piece and even time,
to symbolise greater meaning in our minds.

My wish is to evoke in you, a playful joy.
In these pieces, see the art, not just a toy.
Get re-inspired to explore the wonders of art.
Make, paint, create and speak from the heart.

The artworks inspired by the design language of everyone's favourite plastic toy bricks seek to find a playful balance between 2d and 3d, abstraction and information, shape and scale.

I am now in the process of creating some of the designs as large wooden sculptures. The approach and end result is I hope you agree with, something special as well as playful.

For a fun Christmas gift, you can now pick up one of the canvases or glossy prints for your walls or maybe a playful pillow and majestic mug for your home.

Anyone interested in hearing more or commissioning one of the large scale wooden works of art you can reach me directly at cephas@play.institute

Thank you
