Doktor A for UNAMERICAN ACTIVITY @ Toy Art Gallery (Opens Nov 14)
WHAT: Counting down to the launch of the 3-man show UNAMERICAN ACTIVITY at Toy Art Gallery on Friday November 14th, we take a look at works from Doktor A today! Along with a fun little micro Q&A, of course:)
TOYSREVIL: What have you planned for the show?
DOKTOR A: I have some toy customs, something I haven't actually done for a while really as most Mechtorians are more Franken-toy constructs than customs these days. That was fun. Also a large playset with many small figures and parts... Something hopefully impressive.
Weatherspoon’s Day Spa : "Once part of a larger factory building the original wave of Mechtorians, Mr. Weatherspoon was the first to see the sense in offering a new sort of service to the growing population. His establishment caters for the wealthier members of society who want a bit of a brush up and a re-fresh. His team of professional craftsmen can offer a wide range of upgrades or refurbishments to suit any need or desire. From simple lube job to relieve those little twinges to a total body remodel to meet the needs of ever changing fashions. Fast, discreet and hygienic."Doktor A's "Weatherspoon’s Day Spa" is a 360 degree viewable “Playset” containing one main figure and seven smaller characters which can be placed around the structure.
TOYSREVIL: : How "Un-American" are you?
DOKTOR A: I am not actually Un Americam in as much as anti American at all. The show title was just intended to play on the fact that none of the artists showing were from the USA.
TOYSREVIL: : What (single) thing do you think you need to do,to "blend in" into having people think you are an American?
DOKTOR A: I would never try and have people think I am American. I am English through and through and think people like that aspect of me and my work. I dont think I blend in anywhere frankly.. Well maybe at Designer Con .....TOYSREVIL: Stay tuned for further updates and reveals on Doktor A's instagram @doktor_a! (www.mechtorians.com / Facebook).
