Indonesian artist, ARKIV, whom we have worked with on a number of occasions, will be opening his solo US exhibition at Toy Art Gallery in LA on Aug 5th. Not only will he be putting up quite alot of new artworks, his new figure made with adFunture, the SUMO, will also be available during this exhibition period. With Gino at Toy Art Gallery, we put together a first release of SUMO in form of a Black/Dark Gray colorway. 100 pieces exclusively made for TAG, and of course, to be sold exclusively by TAG as well. If you are still hunting for the ARKIV INSTANT figures we put out a while back, make sure you don’t let this SUMO slip your fingers this time.
Arkiv’s “Escapist” opens Friday at TAG
Toy Art Gallery is proud to present “Escapist”, a solo show from renowned Indonesian artist Arkiv Vilmansa. The exhibit will feature new painted works, sculptures, limited edition prints and a special preview release and signing of the new figure “The Sumo”.
“Over the past several years, artist Arkiv Vilmansa’s iconic character ‘Arkiv Instant’ has made the artist a household name within the lowbrow art and toy culture scene. Arkiv looks to develop his signature image, while debuting new characters and continuing to explore his unique style of combining the surreal and theatrical with playful and whimsical caricature.”
Opening reception is Friday, Aug 5th 2011 from 7pm-11pm. Arkiv will be in attendance with a live painting session. A signing session will follow on Saturday, Aug. 6th starting at 2pm.
The Show Preview will be available on Thursday, Aug. 4th. The exhibit runs from Aug. 5th to Aug. 26th, 2011.
