Creo Design is working with Mark Gmehling to produce his very won original figure, Unplugged. Creo has truly captured the details behind this 2D design and were able to transform it into a 10” solid resin statue. These are now available and limited to only 10 pieces. You can order yours by sending an email to creo[a]tcdtoys[dot]co.uk. These each retail roughly $820 excluding shipping.
The unplugged sculptures and especially the print is inspired by my perception of society as are a lot of my works. The print shows ten unplugged’s do this endless walk-cycle is a metaphor of the daily grind that never stops. The kind of daily grind where you perceive life through a tunnel that only focuses on sustainable growth and profit maximization.The brain is unplugged, you are a zombie sleepwaking on autopilot. In general I do my best to document the trivialty and absurdity of human life in a way that is as clear and easy to read as possible – in the good hope that it needs no explanation. For me personally the sculpture acts as a memorial to remind me of staying awake.
