Artist Bio

Renée Tay breathes new life into once-beloved vintage toys, transforming them into captivating works of art destined to be cherished once again. Her journey into the realm of assemblage sculptures commenced in 2016, swiftly evolving into her artistic passion. Salvaging forgotten treasures such as vintage toys, dolls, figurines, and teapots, Tay meticulously arranges them into intricate compositions using Apoxie Sculpt. She then applies layers of gesso, Valspar, and other materials, culminating in a meticulous process of aging and sealing with a high gloss clear coat, ultimately achieving an enchanting illusion reminiscent of porcelain sculpture. Renée Tay is a native of San Diego, California, where she was born, raised, and currently resides. Her captivating assemblage sculptures grace esteemed galleries across the United States, including Stranger Factory, Union Gallery NOLA, La Luz De Jesus Gallery, The Hive Gallery, Trash Lamb Gallery, Parlor Gallery and Space Gallery in Denmark.
