Hot off the heels of the Neo Indigenous solo art show (opening last Thursday, January 12th), Marka27 is gearing up for the release of his latest toy, the Black Buddha Minigod. Dropping at the TT Underground Gallery (home of Neo Indigenous) on Saturday (January 21st), the 5.5″ Toy Tokyo exclusive Minigod has been limited to 100 pieces worldwide.
Marka27 will be on hand between 4-6pm at the gallery for an artist talk, so be sure to head down with any questions regarding his latest body of work (or if your looking to get the new figure signed!).
Neo Indigenous celebrates the artist’s arrival and first solo show in Gotham. It also marks a shift in the artist’s cultural consciousness. His quest to bridge past with present illustrates his yearning to bring deeper meaning to both old and new art forms. Juxtaposing ancient elements with contemporary design aesthetics, Marka27 reveals both a connection and a disjuncture in the process. Challenging viewers to confront the existing practice of commodifying art, the exhibit leaves a lasting impression – a mark Marka27 has predicated his reputation on. -press
