Toy Car
The classical bronze nude is reframed in Toy Car by Yu Nagaba.With an arm melodramatically thrown over her head, the sleek female figure is based on a recurring character in Yu’s two and three-dimensional artwork, and represents the artist’s first figurative sculpture edition. The only clue as to where she is reclining is the toy car placed that accompanies her.Inspired by Yu’s endeavours in graphic design, the edition constitutes a modern, minimal reworking of motifs and references from art history, such as Matisse’s reclining nudes. Frosted white paint is applied in several layers to the cast bronze sculpture – finished with flashes of platinum leaf.
Fishbowl
For a timed-limited edition of silkscreen prints, available for 24 hours only, Yu Nagaba composes a minimal scene of fish, flowers and solitude.In a sharp, linear style influenced by his endeavours in graphic design, Nagaba depicts a person and three fish, sitting in front of a patterned wall. Goldfish and floral motifs pay homage to French Fauvist Matisse – a longstanding source of inspiration for Yu’s curvaceous forms and figures.Each print is finished with an ACE Hotel stamp in vibrant red. The stamp is a calling card seen throughout the artist’s practice, adding a touch of colour to his monochrome palette. It calls to Nagaba’s childhood memories of his father’s travels and the simple mementos he’d return with, and more recently to an imagined alter ego who travels the world leaving cryptic sketches on hotel notepads.
Cactus Man Vessel
DRx, Neighborhood SRL & CRamics
Avant Arte presents a multimode collaboration between DRx (category-defying creative and ‘fortune telling’ collector, Darren Romanelli), SRL (Specimen Research Laboratory, an offshoot of trailblazing streetwear brand Neighborhood) and CRamics (graphic designer turned ceramicist, Candice Romanelli).Comprising a vinyl figure complete with removable mask, hands and apron, a limited edition Neighborhood SRL T-shirt and a slab-made, fired stoneware vessel by CRamics, the collaboration connects eclectic subcultural references with a profound appreciation for collecting, cactus cultivation and botany at large. True to Romanelli’s reputation as a multi-hyphenate practitioner, the 3 artefacts deftly entwine tenets of ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture – questioning how said categories have been and might be defined to begin with. Read an interview with Darren and Neighborhood founder Shinsuke Takizawa to find out more.Please note that dimensions listed below reference the vinyl figure.
