About this Platform

The Canbot is a popular art toy designed by Czee13, a UK-based street artist known for his distinctive graffiti-inspired aesthetics. The Canbot series merges urban street art with the designer toy movement, resulting in a spray-can-inspired collectible figure that has gained a cult following among art toy collectors, graffiti enthusiasts, and urban vinyl fans. The Canbot toy is shaped like an upside-down spray paint can, with the nozzle serving as its head and the body resembling a stylized robot. This design pays tribute to graffiti culture, making it a favorite among street art collectors. It often features drips, tags, and distressed textures to give it an authentic street-style look. One of Canbot’s signature features is its built-in rattle, mimicking the sound of a real spray can when shaken. Production by Clutter Studios. Clutter Studios, a respected name in the designer toy scene, helps produce and distribute Canbots, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and authentic artistic details. Clutter Gallery is a leading contemporary art gallery specializing in the vibrant world of designer toys and lowbrow art. Located in the artistic community of Beacon, New York (home to the world famous Dia museum), Clutter Gallery has established itself as a premier destination for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Since its inception in 2011, the gallery has been dedicated to showcasing the work of both established and emerging artists who push the boundaries of pop culture, street and low-brow art. In addition to its dynamic exhibitions, Clutter Gallery also houses an impressive permanent collection of Designer Toys, curated by the team behind its renowned print publication. This collection serves as a testament to the gallery’s deep-rooted connection to the designer toy movement and its commitment to preserving and celebrating this unique art form. Los Angeles based artist Josh Mayhem's lifelong habit of collecting children's playthings has fueled his passion for transforming said toys into objects d'art. Among his best-known pieces are those constituting his “Blown Away” series, in which mass-produced forms are covered in strands of resin and layers of acrylic paint to create gravity-defying drips that give the impression of the work being deconstructed by a strong wind. The popularity of this aesthetic has led to Mayhem winning the Custom of the Year (Fan) award at the 2019 Designer Toys Awards, multiple releases with the many of the worlds top designer toy artists and producers, participating in TRASHed: Art of Recycling at Coachella Festival, and solo exhibitions at Clutter Gallery in Beacon NY, Bruce Lurie Gallery in Los Angeles CA (as well as an artist residency) , PIQ Grand Central Terminal in NYC, and The Crown Collection Gallery in both Denver and Los Angeles. In the process of creating his coveted sculptural works, Josh Mayhem uses gallery-quality canvases as drop cloths. As each becomes decorated with an accumulation of colorful drips, patterns begin to emerge in the artist's mind. Augmenting each one with coatings of synthetic resin and additional paint splashes, these works Curated by Czee13 & Clutter, Rattle & Bones celebrates the launch of the BRAND NEW Czee13 platform toy, the Chillin'! Artists had the choice of the Canbot or the Clutter Skull head!
