Constructing odd shapes with building blocks or moulding irregular objects of clay? There is no right or wrong when kids become artists, everything becomes right because this is them playing. What happens when an adult reacts to a kid&#8217;s world? Artists Nairy Baghramian and Sofia Elias take us into a world of kids&#8217; expressions full of colour, curiosity, imperfections, and non-fitting rooms full of life-size kids&#8217; toys. Their ongoing exhibitions disrupt the way of adult thinking celebrating the creativity of kids and turning our imaginations and expectations upside down.

In her exhibition Jumbled Alphabet, she isn&#8217;t just creating sculptures; she\u2019s constructing a world where the familiar rules of assembly don\u2019t apply.

The artist&#8217;s work embodies construction in the most unconventional sense, as it\u2019s built on the principle of breaking down a work of art to reveal its underlying &#8216;workings&#8217; known as &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/anti-romance-the-deconstruction-of-the-celebrity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deconstruction<\/a>&#8216;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b790cf611a2cb5792913e03284ecca17 wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by the children&#8217;s building toys that fit together just so, her sculptures refuse to align perfectly, challenging our need for things to &#8216;fit&#8217;. Think of a kid constructing a toy or deconstructing unbothered by the consequences &#8216;of winning, losing, or breaking down&#8217;.

For example, in a world where we expect children laughing and smiling in pictures, she portrays pictures of a girl not facing the camera in the gallery, challenging the idealised expectations for a child to look happy in pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b11e566f1888a0956dd3a41ef243ba5e wp-block-paragraph\">Known for her style of choosing contrasting materials, she combines polished metals with soft leather and vibrant resin with raw, organic wood. Her sculptures hint at the human body; pieces of limbs, skin, flesh, and teeth seem to peek out, but they remain abstract enough to keep us guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?resize=580%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C801&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/file-5-1.jpg?w=1499&amp;ssl=1 1499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c512132896cd6aa51a4be7e57b9288f1 wp-block-paragraph\">Image Misfits, 2021, Nairy Baghramian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-29701935180b39fdd3f8058fdc791783 wp-block-paragraph\">Some pieces barely balance on the edges, others loom out of reach. The beauty of Misfits lies in its differences; there\u2019s no \u2018right\u2019 answer, no order, no fitting together. It\u2019s about seeing the charm in things and celebrating the process of being dysfunctional. It\u2019s a cheeky rebellion against our obsession with the perfect, the functional, and the harmonious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b5148bb4f115dd55c3a6b6b38aa7a9ac wp-block-paragraph\"> <strong><em>&#8220;A perfect idea doesn\u2019t exist.
