SEEN: J*RYU - "Bruised & Bitten" at Wrong Gallery, Taipei!!!

Check out the 1:1 fibreglass Bruised sculpture in the corner!

Taking place right now, alongside Taipei Toy Festival 2015 (TTF2015) is the great return to motherland exhibition for J*RYU and Luke Chueh, featuring the former's Pokket Vampire, a Chinese gastronomical sucker, balancing a myriad of culinary sacrifices. This species was first seen at AsiaPOP Manila and from the looks of it, there's no stopping their relentless hopping after their egg tart affair is over!

Please join me and my esteemed colleague @lukechueh for our two man show here in Taipei - "Bruised & Bitten" tomorrow night. I've brought a spooky 49 custom #pokketvampire featuring 49 different foods from around the world. Luke's pieces are amazing and the new 4ft statue he has by VTSS is boss. Hope to see you here! #lukechueh #jryuart #sculpture #painting #taipei #wronggallery #jiangshi #art

Each of the PV at Wrong Gallery spots something that will appeal to the closet foodie in all of us; I see fries, burgers, various confectionary and... is that Siew Mai? As if these ain't cute enough, they even come with matching talismans that announces the headgear. This is definitely a completist's nightmare. There's a future for this Pokket Vampire, one that can potentially include balancing cute animals to miniature bonsai should he ever run out of food.

Bruised & Bitten runs from 9th Oct till 10th Nov at Wrong Gallery, Taipei.

Chueh Tart - because that's how they roll

Fun fact: Do you know Chinese vampires can't hop over door thresholds?
