Deharavath art show opening GR2
Yukinori Dehara, David Horvath, and Sun-Min Kim at GR2
April 19 - May 14
Reception: Saturday, April 19, 6:30 - 10:00
Giant Robot is proud to host Deharavath, a group art show featuring
the work of Yukinori Dehara, David Horvath, and Sun-Min Kim.
Dehara's hand-painted clay depictions of debauched salarymen,
brutalized gangsters, happy monsters, and other unique figures
stand about 5-inches tall. Although the pieces are detailed and
glossy, the subtle and intentional flaws of the Japanese artist's
self-described "crummy" style project more humanity than horror,
and are oddly sympathetic. His work has garnered a cult of
collectors around the world, and is celebrated in books, stickers,
and other merchandise. For this show, his subject will be "zombie
children."
David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim are best known for creating of
UglyDolls, the indie plush dolls that have gained a rabid worldwide
following and sparked a movement of cool handmade toys. For this
show, the duo is making one-of-a-kind framed prints, drawings,
paintings, and handmade plush surprises. Horvath and Kim promise
that everything will be all new, including a special Ice Bat kaiju
figure made in conjunction with Dehara.
A reception for the artists will take place from 6:30 - 10:00 on
Saturday, April 19.
