'Unfold' Exhibition by alto @ Little Ox Gallery (Dec 13)

Chris Dobson shares with us words and images of his forthcoming exhibition! Titled "Unfold" (Facebook Events), the exhibit will showcase both print and toy work - held at the Little Ox Gallery, Edinburgh, on December 13th. A new series of giclee digital prints anchors the exhibition, which will also see the public unveiling of two original resin toys. Of the prints, Chris mentions:

"I wanted to explore the continuing reference points, in contemporary art and design, of key pop-cultural icons that have endured through the generations – Star Wars, Transformers, superheroes, etc – and what happens when this seam of inspiration begins to unravel and break down. In doing so, of course, I have merely (and somewhat cheekily), ensured that the mining of such rich source material continues unashamedly"

Each of the ten prints is an edition of 50 and all are now available for pre-order, via the alto webstore, priced at £15 each, with a special pre-show exclusive offer of £100 for the complete set.

PRESS: 'Evil Origami, produced in collaboration with DMS will appear in customised form, as ten Scottish-based artists provide their own unique take on the piece. Ranging from established names in the toy world, such as Lisa Rae Hansen and Conzo, through to famed Glaswegian street-artist, Klingatron, graphic design studios Effektive and Berg and illustrators Daniel Seex, Badatmath, Robbie Porter, Verity Keniger and The Lindstrom Effect.

Also on show will be exhibition mascot, the literally named, Little Ox, produced in conjunction with Creo Design and resplendent in an array of colourways.'
