Julie B. worked hard sculpting the Pretty in Plastic contribution and wanted to share a little sneak peak of what to expect this weekend...
Aside from a crew of custom Power Rangers there will also be a mural inspired by the heroes. It's going to be a great night filled with art and "Go Go Power Ranger" chants. We will see you this Saturday at TAG Gallery on Melrose.
Come
on down to the Toy Art Gallery on Melrose this Saturday night
for Mark Ryden’s YHWH Group Custom Show. You can check out a number of amazing
reinterpretations of YHWH by a score of talented artists, including our very
own Julie B!
Julie B's YHWH reinterpretation
From
Ryden: “YHWH is the unpronounceable name of god. My YHWH represents the
indefinable nature of the divine and its unspeakable mystery, which can be
represented by anything from a burning bush to a three eyed bunny totem. In creating
my YHWH toy edition, I stove to elevate each and every individual figure from a
mass produced piece of plastic to a magical object. I very much look forward to
seeing how each artist responds to the spiritual energies of their YHWHs.”
We’re
looking forward to seeing you there!
