About this character:
Many European architecture before modern era has 3 windows in classic, symmetric design in main rooms of important buildings such as a courthouse, a museum, a palace. About a decade ago, as an architect, Ben Ryuki Miyagi started incorporating such 3 windows in his designs of architecture.
His obsessions with 3 windows now took on the soul of its own, evolving into an art character that looks like a bear, a cat or a rabbit, with ribbons, tiaras, stars, hearts, stitches. This character is named something beary in one word, depending on its style.
About this work:
This sculpture is hand made with flexible polyester fabric, with soft cushions inside, like a plush toy. This is painted with markers and acrylics, as if it is a canvas for a painting, becoming more like a 3 dimensional painting. There is a hook on the back, so this can be hung on wall like a painting. Or this can be displayed on a table or sofa, against a wall or backrest.
As a very lightweight plush, the shipping cost, and the risk of damage during shipping, will be minimal.
This is a signature style character created by the artist, with 3 windows (or eyes), under a ribbon, along with images of hearts, stars, doodles, cats, rabbits, bears.
This is a contemporary art at the intersection of high art, pop culture, subculture of toys and cartoon characters.
