Working with varying painting techniques, the artists have culled together collaborative pieces that represent their shared life together.
From their nomadic travels the past year to in-jokes with their friends in New York, the Yok and Sheryo seamlessly combine their adventures into every detail of their work. For example, their hand painted vases combine eastern & western elements to portray the values of ideology, devotion, relationships, dharma and karma, depicting a narrative from the rich tales of their journey. From their fun filled art renderings with Chinese dragons, pipes, and geishas intermixing with the New York culture, Sheryo and the Yok put their own illustrative styles on imagery as they re-interpret the traditional folklore and fables of old Chinese times while injecting their own personal stories with their iconic styles."
From the above "Lumpy Dragon" painted sculpt, to hand-painted ceramic plates and vases (from their trip to Vietnam), as well as a limited edition one color 25” x 19” high quality screen print (below / priced at US$150 each) - "Pipe Dreams is a must see for any street art enthusiast or talent seeker of any kind."
