About this work

A whimsical, abstract sculpture that appears to be a blend of organic and mechanical elements. The sculpture has a large, crescent-shaped head that dominates the upper portion. The head is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, giving it a somewhat otherworldly appearance. The body of the sculpture is composed of multiple appendages or limbs that radiate outwards, resembling a starfish or a sunburst. These limbs are also decorated with detailed patterns and inscriptions. The overall design is quite artistic and seems to convey a sense of movement and dynamism.Born into the greyness of England at the end of the Seventies, by the age of four Jon-Paul Kaiser knew that what he wanted to do in life was a draw. From that point he rarely strayed from that path; scribbling and doodling his way through School, College and University. After working with Porlzilla, Jon-Paul decided to go it alone concentrating at first on the toy customization scene, building up a name and strong reputation for himself with his stark Black & White custom style, influenced by comic book art, film noir & Ukiyo-e prints. This lead to him being approached by established toy producers for designs for their platform toys. Principally amongst these are Toy2R who have released numerous JPK Platforms. "Reveries" sees a new chapter in the artists work. Using only his own sculptures and figures, he explores the theme of nostalgia; presented by surreal characters and scenes, each depicting as well as subverting classic art tropes. Influences on this selection of work includes history, fine art and colonialism, as well as looking at identity.
