Toys for not
naughty adults! Art in shape of a toy ... if you discover this
kind of art some explanation might be required. These are
decorative art collectibles: The art toys (also known as
designer toys, urban vinyl, vinyl toys) may be edited in limited
series, or figurine created by designers to be edited, in blank
vinyl, to be customized by artists in order to create unique
collectible items.
Born out of the
street art in Hong Kong in the 90s, this support, where anything
is allowed, is gradually gaining the world of contemporary art.
The plastic action has no limit: cutting, adding material,
graphics, graffiti, collage ... but on the market of collections
there are still codes: the price follows an apraisal that
combines the ranking of the artist and those of the designer
with the format and complexity of work. The boxes are customized
too because they are collected with their contents. The designer
toys are neither derivate nor humans or animals, as
suggested by the curious names of such DIY figurines like Trexi-oval,
munny, etc ...
It is just before the 61st Cannes Film Festival that the
Princess of Isangel discovered these charming characters and
decides to dress them up with glitter, a design that fits the
festival atmosphere but also the technique of expression the
Princess was implementing on her canvases.
Under the foot
of character as it signs on the canvas "Princess of Isangel" but
on the visible part of the toy tag it "HRHPI (for Her Royal
Highness Princess of Isangel).
Keep out of the reach of children!
