Toy Art Gallery is proud to present “ARThropod Brain”
by Tokyoplastic and Emilio Garcia, new work inspired by electron
microscope images, macro photography and the often mind boggling
weirdness of the insect world.
ARThropod Brain is a synthesis between the
design of Tokyoplastic and the central motif of Emilio Garcia’s work;
the brain. The future and past collide with multicolored brain bugs in
candy flip paint that hark back to the early days of collection and
categorization of weird and wonderful bugs, brains and strange critters.
The ARThropod Brain show features
specially-made 3D-printed framed and mounted “Arthropod Brain Bugs” in a
variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, as well as an assortment of 2D
work. In addition, Emilio will be debuting his porcelain Skull Brain,
produced by K.Olin Tribu, which will be offered for sale for the first
time at the show.
