TOY ART GALLERY Premieres METALLIC MACHINATIONS
Dril, Cris Rose, Phu, Jester and Rohby showcase figures of grit and grime. “I love rust, decay, history, ruins, military, skulls, vintage,” says toy artist DrilOne of his lifelong obsession. “And all this makes me who I am.” This new landscape of concrete and steel has birthed a new generation of artists for whom wear and tear are revered as the new nature, the only real part of an increasingly synthetic world. This is a group show where DrilOne and fellow grime addicts Cris Rose, Phu, Jester and Rohby will showcase a mix of custom designer toys and original creations, each one a portrait of the juncture between machine and man, intelligence and time, destruction and creation. The opening reception features a live DJ and complimentary drinks.
