We have been posting up individual customs for this show this whole week, and gotta say that we are very impressed with the work thus far, and
Toy Art Gallery is ramping up for
Mark Ryden’s "YHWH" custom show! This will feature a ton of super talented customizers as they were tasked to tackle this unique shape... and did they ever! This group show not only showcases Mark Ryden’s first and only vinyl toy, but also will be highlighting a beautiful amber YHWH by Marion Peck and a one of a kind 6’ foot long wooden YHWH package by Mark Ryden himself. Ryden mentions, "
YHWH is the unpronounceable name of God. My YHWH represents the indefinable nature of the divine and its unspeakable mystery, which can be represented by anything from a burning bush to a three eyed bunny totem. In creating my YHWH toy edition, I strove to elevate each and every individual figure from a mass produced piece of plastic to a magical object. I very much look forward to seeing how each artist responds to the spiritual energies of their YHWHs." Such a strange and unique creature, and with each and every artists interpretations... awesome results! This show is going to be quite extraordinary, as the shape really pushes all artist involved to really rethink what is possible with a custom designer toy show. Be there for the opening this Saturday, May 11th from 7-10pm at Toy Art Gallery’s showroom located at 7571 Melrose Ave. Hollywood CA 90046.
