“How often do you put on a brave face? How often do you face the truth? I am a self-portrait of sober fragility. Born from the rugged mechanics of an old typewriter and dusty carbon paper. My creator, Goekhan Erdogan, is a German Artist, he repeatedly punched his name, over […]
“My creator, Liu Dawei, once whispered intently: ‘I am a hunter. Hungry. Waiting to prey in a network-jungle of images.’ The Chinese artist is always watching from the dark recesses of the internet, the shadows of the media, slicing through each image, and creating a second-hand reality. I am both complex […]
“Risen from a dream, silently screaming for hope, and longing for home. My creator, London-based Iraqi-Kurdish artist, Walid Siti, internalised my very complex structure. An artist from the lost generation, in exile, and threatened and repressed by decades of uncertainty and war. Today, I represent the deep-rooted violence of a nation, wounded and composed of scorched black earth, twisted […]
“Through the ages, I have been associated with immortality, temptation and love. Today, I am all but the humble fruit, a snack. My creator, Yosuke Amemiya, challenged my sweet origins and if you look a little closer, my hyper-realness is brought to life with the help of fibre-reinforced plastic, sculpted, formed, […]
“Curiously, I am evocative. A sculpture. A whisper. Contorted, twirling in fragile movements. My creators, Ferry van Tongren and Jaap Sinke, once confessed: ‘we have managed to find some really rare and interesting species from zoos and breeders around the world – each animal is selected on colour and drama.’ […]
“My creator, Andy Warhol, once said: ‘Art is what you can get away with.’ And that is exactly what has happened. One early, hazy, April morning, just before the daily museum bustle, my brothers and sisters, all ten of us, woke up to an unusually loud commotion. In less than […]
“My creator, Livia Marin, is a Chilean-born artist based in London. She saved me and gave me a second chance, a new life! I originally arrived into this world as a soft, plush teddy bear, mass produced, to be enjoyed by little children around the world. I have heard stories […]
Born into a family of art collectors, it is no surprise Marc Bollansee developed a keen interest at a young age. From his successful corporate career with Adidas in Asia, to his continuous curiosity discovering new artists and sharing his passion and wisdom with the next generation. Today, he is […]
“They say a picture is worth one thousand words. But the only word I can express is Ouch! I come from a world of dreams and nightmares. Full of weird and beautiful coincidences. I was born in The Netherlands by artist Ruth van Beek and I am an exclusive collectors breed. Painfully shaped and folded into peculiar, […]
“Can you hear the voice of my silence? Can you feel the monochromatic calmness on the surface of my body? My creator Ariel Reichman intimately liberated me from Cuban-Amercian artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s photographic series of vultures gliding in the sky. These images by Gonzalez-Torres were sadly one of his last […]
“How does one capture the immaterial, the ethereal and the beautifully frail? How does one explore a concept as soft-spoken and quiet as silence? This is what my creator, Manuel Kirsch, has tried to achieve. By adopting a monochrome and abstract aesthetic, he has produced me – a gigantic sheet […]
“I am the clone on every single magazine cover, movie screen and poster. Millions of women look at me. Some see me as privileged and lucky because of my looks, others secretly envy me, others are filled with disgust, and some others feel nothing but apathy. But whilst I am […]
“My creator, Daisuke Yokota, once said: ‘for me, I don’t make work to express my feelings; it’s more like burning them.’ The Japanese photographer has made thousands of photographs similar to me, creating me by shooting, re-shooting, scanning, developing and boiling film.
