About this Platform
The toy is based on a rabbit figure with distinctive tubular ears. The origin of the name Dunny came from a combination of street slang and one of the early "Devil Bunny" prototypes. The Dunny is sold in four sizes - 3", 5", 8" and 20". The toy has three points of articulation; a 360 degree rotational head and two arms. An artist card or sticker is also included with the 3" Dunny from a series. Most 3" Dunnys and some 8" Dunnys are normally sold as "blind assortment"; the figure is packaged inside a sealed foil wrapper, such that the buyer is not able to see which figure and accessories they are buying. Sealing the figure prevents people from opening and peeking in the boxes and buying only the figures they want. Most Dunnys are packaged inside a clear plastic bag in addition to the foil wrapper. In the second-hand market, this assures the buyer that the article was never on display and is in a "new" condition. With the success of vinyl toys as a medium for expression, many fans and artists have put their own design onto blank Dunnys. Trained as an architect, Koral has quickly devoted herself full time to his artistic vocation. She's been working primarily aesthetic: it seeks to elicit emotion from the viewer visually, provided by the harmony of colors, the perfect balance of the composition and the constant search for perfection graph. Koralie draws its inspiration from the Japanese illustration, prints of the thirteenth century to the manga. His geishas are graphical icons mix sensuality and modesty, elegance and flashy colors. Beyond the first appearance naive or Japanese style of his work is the rigor of its design, the perfect symmetry of his compositions, and the play of textures and materials obtained by his collages, which seduce and transport the viewer into the elegant universe Koralie. Folk elements from other cultures in addition to his compositions: African braids, ringlets, Russian dolls, accessories Indian headdresses of the sixteenth century, kimonos, lamps ... Koralie likes to mix elements of different origins and manages to create a harmony of this association a priori heterogeneous. Her character geisha eventually became a pretext for the creation of new sets and elaborate costumes. To do so, she uses collage, graphic, acrylic, and more recently, and oil painting as favorite techniques.
