Anikoon
June 1 - June 30, 2024
The artist Anikoon draws and makes robots. The robot he encountered through cartoons and other toys as a child continues to live in his imagination as an adult. In addition, toy robots, Star Wars characters, and everyday objects enter the screen and live as their representatives. Growing up like an illusion in the world of popular culture and his imagination, it is placed on the canvas through imaginary representations of everyday objects rather than imitation or representation of the real world. “In 2122, robots that were left alone in the absence of life wander around looking for friends. He comes across and becomes friends with DOGGY, who comes alive from art, and through sharing a deep story with DOGGY, sets off to find yet another friend."
Here is a link to a published write-up about the delightful Anikoon.
