"Incognito" new sculpted pieces from Daniel Yu

Daniel Yu sent over some gret pictures of a project that he has been working on as a contribution artwork for a local arts festival in Singapore entitled "Content: navigating a point". Each head was sculpted and painted and the final piece was exhibited as digital prints of each individual head. The title of this piece is "Incognito" and they were all created using epoxy sculpt, acrylic paints, and then turned into digital prints.

Daniel goes on to say that "This body of work addresses the concept of identity, and questions the commonly held assumptions about stereotypes and self-awareness. The medium and imagery of gas masks draw on the symbolism and aesthetics of youth culture, and also deal with sameness and difference between selves. The traditional headdresses contain faint intimations concerning cultural personality. This resonance of cultural identity, being based upon difference, presents itself as a divisive force in society. The concluding image suggests that cosmopolitanism provides individuals with a greater sense of shared citizenship, presenting the ideology of belonging to a single community. Ergo, to not always be divisive. As individuals, we share an inherent part of “make up” that provides a common ground and alternate means of identifying with each other." These turned out really cool and you might remember Daniel's other work that he did HERE featuring 3 custom "Playmo de Plumes", these are very similar in sculpting style to those, great work man!
