Rise and Shine to WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE Exhibition @ BLAXK by Action City

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,


If you are into pop toy culture and love some cheekiness, check out the Juce Gace Awakening series exhibited at BLAXK by ActionCity (BLAXK). Best known for his signature piece A Wood Awakening, (where instead of a growing nose, Pinocchio gets an erection for his compulsive lying), 
he has gone on with more cheeky creations which will be displayed in the WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE exhibition.



A screenwriter by day and toy designer by night, Juce Gace spreads smiles with his tongue-in-cheek art creations by reimagining iconic characters in a cheeky tone. His name and brand became synonymous with his style of artwork which blends classic designs with an evoking twist of French humor, adult sensitivities, and modern satire.



With the message of 'waking up to a joyful day',  WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE features his creations in various mediums - art prints, sculptures, art toys as well as merch for his fans. Special edition highlights would be:


A Wood Awakening (BLAXK Exclusive)
Produced exclusively for the gallery BLAXK by ActionCity, this event-exclusive A Wood Awakening is in his classic pose but adorned in the rich colours of black and gold - celebrating the artist's inaugural milestone exhibition in Singapore and the region.


I Am Wood (Rainbow Chrome Edition)
The artist's hit design - I Am Wood is back! He shines bright like a diamond, reflecting the viewer in his eyes, his butt, or any naughty parts of his anatomy. Specially designed and selected by Juce Gace given the complexity of this chrome production technique and produced in very limited numbers, this colour symbolizes tolerance, happiness, and love. Furthermore, as a colourful garden city, Singapore is a unique blend of wood and metal, best represented by this stunning art figure.


JEM (Awakening Edition)
Beyond just showcasing his signature cheeky designs and characters, Juce Gace brings a local flavour to the exhibition through his collaboration with Singaporean artist Tanavit23! Best known for his signature character JEM - a little boy rocking a tiger hat - Tanavit23 enjoys creating art that juxtaposes the fierce and the cute.


After the COVID pandemic lockdowns, the 2 artists met last year and ideas between the two began to flow and fuse quickly. Blending their creative juices, gave birth to a new collaboration piece - JEM (Awakening Edition). The cuteness and elegance of Tanavit23's JEM character meet the cheekiness and wood pattern of Juce's work. 

JEM is now a real and happy puppet buddy, wearing light traditional-style clothes as well as his heavy winter-style tiger hat. Limited to a worldwide release of 100 pieces, this new toy figure is imbued with cheekiness to bring that mischievous yet adorable touch to your collection!


Other than the pieces Juce Gace designed and created, the exhibition also features numerous collaboration works with artists all around the world including Gregos, Rich Sheehan, Paisia, and Paul Jackson; all celebrating art in the spirit of fun, humour and contemporary relevance.


You can also find his soon-to-be-launched collaboration figure - Skulltoon Awakening, with Austria-based artist Theodoru. Bringing a twist on the little blue smurf, this blue, cute and cheeky figure will feature Theodoru's signature skull mask/face with Juce's sprinkle of magic to make everything rise.


The WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE Exhibition will be here till 22 October, so drop by and have a good cheeky time ~

WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE Exhibition
Date: 19 August - 22 October 2023
Venue: BLAXK by ActionCity
Address: 107 North Bridge Road, Funan, #01-03, Singapore 179097

Queen Studios' Hyper-Real Statues and Figures Leave Event-Goers In Awe!

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees, 


Remembering back at SGCC 2022, the realistic busts of Tom Holland's Spiderman, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, and Chris Evans as Captain America was top favorite amongst fans for their photo-worthy shots.

These limited edition hyper-real collectibles by Queen Studios (QS) has a well-earned reputation for recreating iconic cinematic moments in a variety of scales and styles. Queen Studios is the first company in the world licensed to make hyper-real silicone busts for Marvel, and the first company in China to do so for DC. In the 5 years since the company was established, the team has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible for these collectibles, blurring the lines between art and life.


These busts are both made of platinum silicone, creating a skin-like look and feel which is soft to the touch. The clothes on the Strange bust are expertly tailored, and they feature hand-punched hair as well as glass eyes that bring them both to life with a scary realism. With the right angle, one would have mistaken for the actors' making a special appearance, even I couldn't help taking selfies with them!


From QS’ statue brand, the Arthur Fleck 1/3 statue from Todd Phillips Academy Award-winning movie Joker stole the show. The statue depicts Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) as he dances gracefully along the white and green tiled bathroom floor just like in the movie. To create this statue, the team worked tirelessly hand painting each piece to create a flawless skin texture, before layering fine sheep’s wool on the head sculpt to create a realistic look.


INART, the company’s 1/6 scale action figure brand also debuted at the event. These sixth-scale figures will probably bring back fond memories of the superhero toys from your childhood, and that’s part of the appeal.Made from the finest materials, these collectible figures are near-perfect recreations of movie characters, such as the Heath Ledger Joker, Robert Pattinson’s The Batman, and Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) from Peter Jackson’s The Lord Of The Rings.While these types of figures have grown in popularity in recent years, the INART brand has taken the character likeness to another level. INART incorporate magnetic bases with movie elements to allow collectors to pose and display their figures just as the character looks in the movie.

For US Collectors, some of Queen Studios’ Marvel collectibles can be ordered from Sideshow, the go to place for collectibles in the US. International collectors, and US collectors can also visit Queen Studios’ official store and order directly from the company or click to be redirected to a local retailer.*Psst, in 2023, QS is expected to release a limited-edition Michael Jackson life-size bust and a Terminator T-800 bust with the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger. All these collectibles are limited and tend to sell out quickly. So be sure to stay connected to Queen Studios' website and social media for more updates.
