ANTZ for FANG TO FUR
The fourth and final local artist to be featured on TOYSREVIL for his work on FANG TO FUR, is urban artist ANTZ - who had contributed a series of painted canvases and a custom-Jouwe (shown above / See more 'Mr Fujita San' HERE) for the exhibition. As well I tried to get under the skin (well, a little bit) of the artist - READ ON!
三打白骨精 - the three hits of the white bone demon
ANTZ: The art consist of graphically laying out 3 of my
iconic monkeys attacking on one giant skeleton figure.
HIGH LIKE F**K
ANTZ: my interpretation of myself at certain state of mind…
(Editor: Do you see the letters "A", "O" & "S" spelt out here?)
FU / LUO / SHOU
ANTZ: My take on the chinese myth
of the 3 stars in a different presentation.
ABUSING KNOWLEDGE, ABUSING POWER and ABUSING HEALTH.
TOYSREVIL: The direction towards chinese lore and embracing your roots is evident in both your canvases and urban street work. Is that something you're exploring more of in the future, or an evolution of your craft?
ANTZ: hmmm … yes I am exploring and expanding … after my recent trips to Melbourne, HKG, and etc, I realized I have so much to touch on and improve on … of coz, on different mediums too...

TOYSREVIL: So What's Up Next with ANTZ?
ANTZ: ME?…GO BIG or GO HOME style…expect MORE and different from ANTZ … from major RSCLS shows (traveling ones), to more tees, more art, and more toys!
