Ai Wei Wei By Charlie Co

Secret Fresh once again collaborates with artist Charlie Co to present Ai Wei Wei - A follow-up to Chinaman, his successfully released first art toy produced by Secret Fresh.

The bust was launched yesterday at the Art Fair Philippines 2013.

Ai Wei Wei Bust By Charlie Co x Secret fresh

"COMRADE AI WEIWEI IN THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON"

Ai Weiwei is a Chinese contemporary artist known for his political activitism. He has openly criticized the Chinese government and its stance for human rights and has been apprehended and jailed in Beijing.

Charlie sees Ai Weiwei as icon for his radical thinking. In his painting, he depicts the Chinese artist as a brave and courageous individual. Ai Weiwei's hair is as fiery as his ideas. His bright red beard is like the fire that comes out of a Dragon's mouth. His eyes are like white pearls against a black background, Charlie's interpretation that Ai Weiwei's views are only either black or white, and no grey areas.

Limited to 30 with 5 unique editions hand painted by the artist.

STRAY by Jagnus Design Studio | WONDER PUPPY EXHIBIT

Our office Jagnus Design Studio was invited to participate in this event by Magis, Dimensione & Secret Fresh called "WONDER PUPPY"

Join us this Friday Aug 17, 2012 5PM as we exhibit our take on Eero Aarnio's Magis Puppy Chair at Dimensione Fort Bonifacio together with other creatives Whoop Wonka, Nemo Aguila, Tripp63, Farley del Rosario, Mimi Tecson, Wesley Valenzuela & Electrolychee.

STRAY

It means to deviate, wander or roam from the direct course or go beyond the proper limits.

Like a lost dog, we aptly named our entry STRAY, to express our idea for the exhibition and the ideals of our office. All entries must use the original Magis design as the basis of the final customized model. We took it a little further and instead, used the base object’s geometry and dimensions to accomplish our goal.

Being the only architecture studio among other participants composed of painters and graffiti artists, we decided to reinterpret Aarnio’s design through carpentry, an expression more familiar to our discipline. The design is executed by deconstructing the original form into 40 planar pieces and assembling them like a three dimensional puzzle.

Gmelina or White Teak is the wood we selected. In the Philippines, Gmelina is commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, mouldings and wood sculptures, particularly for religious statues because it is fairly easy to carve. Its stable supply and abundance makes this material sustainable and inexpensive to use.

With our technical skills in drawing combined with a little imagination and the use of fine natural material, our studio was able to reinterpret Eero Aarnio’s iconic creation in a manner that compliments our design principles.
