Customs Preview for "Klav: One Off Taiwan" @ PlayToysForever (Opens Aug 15)
Introducing the "Klav: One Off Taiwan solo show at PlayToysForever in Taipei, featuring over 50 all new one-off customs from KLAV9, featuring collectibles from a wide variety of designers ("but keeping in mind what appeals to a Taiwanese audience"). Featured here today are a selection of reveals and previews (in video below), alongside words from Kevin Derken himself!
"Coming off of my solo show at Clutter Gallery last November, I was approached by PlayToysForever at DesignerCon last year after I had painted 2 Mega Shark Lords for Merry Go Round Toys. The contents of the show were chosen by the gallery, but I added a few bonus (hard to find) pieces. Some of the works have been mechanically dissected (Ravanger, Dino, Tuna) and all of them are hand painted with lacquer and oil paints." (Insta @klav9)
"Originally planned pre-Covid, I was hoping to be in attendance of the opening this Saturday. However, we are still under a travel ban due to the virus. The Gallery will be having an (in person) opening on August 15, 2020 (Facemask required). Sales will be in person for Saturday and Sunday, and will move to online via www.playtoysforever.com on Monday August 17." (FEATURES on TOYSREVIL)
