U: Corrected Release time. 7 PM PDT on 6.11.
It’s been while since we’ve seen a new art toy/sculpture from Gary Baseman. Happily, the talented LA-based painter has collaborated with APPortfolio to bring his Ahwroo character to life as a polystone figure. Featured in many of his paintings, the beast contemplates a skull in its outstretched paw—perhaps the object of its affection or a moment of reflection.
Limited to 300 numbered pieces, Ahwroo stands roughly 8.2” tall (21 cm) and features a hand-painted design with varied textures for the fur and on the face. APPortfolio will release Ahwroo on Monday (6.11) at 7 PM PDT for $340 from their web shop.
“It’s Ahwroo, my vicious character that is so hungry for affection, he can draw blood and kill the object of his affection.” [Press]
