WHAT'S NEW

Kidrobot x Parra - "Pierced" vinyl figure


Wow... this is really elegant!!!! I had to get that off my chest first and foremost... now let's get into the details of this new vinyl sculpture from Dutch artist Parra! It appears that Kidrobot has had their sights set on working with Parra for some time now, and the end result is the beautiful 10" tall figure that you see above.
"Inspired by the melodramatic cover art of romance novels and based on his original silkscreen artwork, Dutch artist Parra has crafted Pierced. Using his signature post-Pop imagery and highly saturated colors with contrasting matte and gloss finishes, Parra depicts two figures entwined and suspended in a dramatic dance of passion and pain, revealing multiple levels of love. From one angle, the scene is an ecstatic and intimate moment between lovers. A fiery embrace. Change your view, and a brutal display of empowerment is revealed. A clothed man impales a nude woman’s neck."
Now, I have not seen this in person, but form the looks of the product shots... this really looks amazing. Hopefully there aren't any glaring seam-lines, glue marks, or paint smudges because little things like that would really ruin this figure. According to KR, this is being produced as a limited edition of 300 with artist’s signature engraved on the bottom, and these are dropping for $150 beginning June 7 at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers worldwide.
