MAUZ by Museum of Toys X CANS Gallery X Oky Rey Montha
Indonesia-based artist Oky Rey Montha AKA "Montha" (IG @okyreymontha) has just released "MAUZ" with @museumoftoys X @cansgallery, currently listed online motmuseum.com for your purchasing considerations!
Sized 50cm, this polystone figure is priced at US$1,100.00 (Rp 16.000.000), with this color way in a run of only 20pcs worldwide. This is a PRE-ORDER, with delivery scheduled for mid-February 2021.
This collectible is a physical personification based on his artwork and life-sized installation (see below), which depicts the infamous Mouse dressed in an eclectic self-styled military/carousel gear, attempting the dab while riding a mechanical devilish rodeo ride!
"This character has been my personal achievement this year, it humbly represents the difficult times we all are surviving this year. The pandemic has affected all parts of this world, as we are all now face new struggles every day in our lives. Lives changed, as we were struck by a fast moving aphorism. As if we’re riding on a wild rodeo, trying so hard just to hold on to what we have. “Keep Calm and Cool” Read this aloud, stay creative to stay healthy and increase our immunity. And perhaps, a hint of comedy, and to smile more and face the day."
This release is in tandem with Oky Rey Montha's solo exhibition "Note From Darkness", currently launched at CAN'S GALLERY in Jakarta, exhibiting thru January 10th, 2021. Check out the info in image captions featured below!
...Then the next question might be: "When Will We Next See THIS palm-sized edition as a Collectible?" :)
