Doubleparlour is a husband-and-wife artist duo based in San Francisco, consisting of Ernie and Cassie Velasco. They are known for their eerie yet whimsical handmade resin sculptures, which often feature melancholic, doll-like characters with surreal and unsettling expressions. Their work blends elements of dark humor, dreamlike narratives, and a touch of the grotesque, creating figures that feel both fragile and mysterious. Their signature characters, such as wide-eyed children, anthropomorphic creatures, and eerie twins, often have muted color palettes and delicate, hand-sculpted details. Each piece is carefully crafted and painted, making their work highly sought after in the art toy and lowbrow art communities.
