Magritte, Megalomania (1967) miniature

Pompon tropical
Unique copies!
Parastone has developed a new pattern and applied it to the well-known Pompon polar bear, using the same technique as we used with the Jacky Zegers figures. A thin film with the pattern is placed on a bath of water, after which the film is dissolved with a chemical, leaving only the ink on the water. When the figurine is now immersed in the bath, the ink remains on the figurine. After the drying process, the sculpture is varnished. All copies are unique, you won’t find two of them the same! Labor-intensive but definitely worth it. We are happy with the result and imagine ourselves in tropical places. (POMP01 – 11 cm., POMP11 – 18 cm.)

ORLINSKI
Richard Orlinski has been the biggest selling contemporary French artist in the world since 2015. He began his artistic career in 2004 and created his first work, a bright red resin crocodile, which soon became an iconic piece in the sculptor’s bestiary. The artist took inspiration from pop culture, everyday objects, popular things. Richard Orlinski soon developed new sculptures, often of animals, all symbols of freedom, power and passion. The result: electrifying works of art, in pop colours and a faceted style, that would be seen all around the world. Exhibiting his works, often of spectacular dimensions, in unusual places and the great outdoors soon became his signature. (ORL01 Polar bear Pompon mother-of-pearl colour – L. 23 cm., ORL02 Polar bear Pompon silver colour – L 36 cm., ORL03 Kong thinker red – H. 23 cm., ORL04 Venus de Milo blue – H. 36 cm.)

Jacky Zegers, unique copies
Together with Parastone, Jacky has developed a new pattern. This pattern has been applied to the figures with a challenging new technique. A thin film with the pattern is placed on a bath of water, after which the film is dissolved with a chemical, leaving only the ink on the water. When the figurine is now immersed in the bath, the ink remains on the figurine. After the drying process, the sculpture is varnished, provided with white feet, felt pads and an understamp. All copies are unique, you won’t find two of them the same! Labor-intensive but definitely worth it. We are happy with the result and hope you will be too. (JZP17 – 17,5 cm., JZP05 – 13 cm., JZP01 – 25 cm.)
