Ahead of the opening of his latest exhibition at the Phillips Gallery this weekend, Bob Conge aka Plaseebo kindly shares with us a trio of customs that will be sitting alongside the various new prints and toys on show. First up we have the “Zombie Night Gamer”… one of our favourite takes on the wonderfully strange NG sofubi yet, featuring an exposed, LED lit brain and “belly bag” filled with slime and glow in the dark guts! The “Skulloctopus Slug” also makes a reappearance after it’s debut at the Netherlands Monster Jam, coming with a new larger body and arm sculpts that have been rotocast in a translucent resin. Finished off in a variety of neon Monster Kolor sprays, Skulloctopus once again comes with an embedded LED unit in the base. Last but by no means least, the “Alien Nightgamer” is the latest kaiju mash-up from the artist. Grafting the Night Gamer’s head onto an undisclosed lower body, the ingenious design also features LED’s lighting the figure in a stunning neon pink… Recent Works is due to open tomorrow at the Phillips Gallery, NY, running right through until October 20th.
