Creatures of Curiosity & the Worlds Beyond Imagination - Art Exhibition


Enter a world where mischievous goblins and trolls, crooked cottages, and storybook magic come to life.
Creatures of Curiosity & the Worlds Beyond Imagination is a unique fantasy art exhibition from local artist Martin Ryan, blending both sculpture and miniature craftsmanship into an enchanting experience for all ages.

Martin Ryan, a fantasy artist and model-maker, showcases his intricate collection of hand-sculpted puppets including whimsical goblins and troll characters, as well as his amazing fantasy miniatures buildings and terrain.
Using materials such as polymer clay, XPS foam, resin, and balsa wood, his creations are rich in detail and atmosphere, offering a glimpse into strange and beautiful worlds.

Martin draws inspiration from fantasy film classics such as Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, as well as the visionary work of Jim Henson and Brian Froud. His lifelong love of character creation and puppetry shines through in every twisted rooftop and every expressive creature face.

Whether you're an artist, fantasy fan, film lover or a family looking for an inspirational day out, Creatures of Curiosity & the Worlds Beyond Imagination Exhibition invites you to explore a gallery filled with charm, character and creativity.

Visitors of all ages will be transported to places where goblins live in twisted towers and trolls tinker in candle-lit workshops.  Exhibition runs from Monday 1st to Saturday 27th June 2026.
