The use of the Nike shoe in this piece adds a touch of pop culture and consumerism to the artwork. Nike, being a well-known and iconic brand, carries its own cultural significance. By incorporating it into the piece, the artist brings together different layers of meaning and invites viewers to reflect on the intersection of art, popular culture, and personal journeys.
This artistic representation is a playful and non-serious approach to exploring profound concepts. It encourages viewers to embrace the notion of stepping forward in life, regardless of the challenges that may arise. The visual impact of the piece, with its magnifying effects and multiple reflections, adds depth and intrigue to the overall experience. It serves as a reminder to keep moving forward, embracing growth, and overcoming obstacles along the way.
This sculptural piece is a captivating combination of art, pop culture, consumerism, and philosophical aspects, presented through a Nike shoe encased in a resin box. The shoe itself is designed in black, yellow, and white, representing a vibrant and eye-catching visual.
What makes this piece intriguing is the dynamic portrayal of the shoe taking a step forward. The shoelaces are depicted as if they are floating in the air, casted in clear resin. However, the heel of the shoe is stuck firmly to the ground by a a piece of gum. This clever metaphor symbolizes the idea of moving forward in life, regardless of the obstacles that come our way.
The artist skillfully combines various elements to create a multi-dimensional viewing experience. From every corner, the clear resin box offers different angles and perspectives of the shoe. It has a magnifying quality, as if the viewer is looking through a lens or a magnifier. This unique presentation gives the impression that the shoe is alive, with reflections and mirroring effects that create additional artwork in front, to the sides, and at the back of the shoe.

"Petroleum Bubble Sunsets" Custom ALIFE sneakers, Abstract dimensional paint
By PJ Linden
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This piece titled "Petroleum Bubble Sunsets (pair)" is an original artwork by PJ Linden and is made from dimensional paint on ALIFE Leather Suede Sneakers. This piece measures 6.5"h x 8.5'w 11"d each shoe.
Linden uniquely refines the use of non-traditional mediums, such as the kitschy, dimensional fabric paint, oft-referred to as puff paint, seeking to transfigure the biological into the supernatural, as filtered through the prism of a consumerist culture predicated upon the synthetic and the mass-produced.
Born 1985 Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. PJ Linden is a New York City and Pennsylvania-based fine artist known for her abstract, three-dimensional work. She paints with machine-like precision, creating microscopic patterns on found objects, fashion, and technology. Linden got her start working with Patricia Field, creating custom, one-of-a-kind art and fashion under the name Wonderpuss Octopus. At Field's iconic, namesake boutique, Linden's work caught the eye of celebrity clients including Beyonce, Willow Smith, Kelly Osborne, and Solange Knowles...

XOX Chill Yellow 1/10 - graphic, pop-art, figurative, resin sculpture
By Viktor Mitic
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Playful, colourful and imaginative, Viktor Mitic’s latest series of sculptures appear to merge pop art with science fiction. The colour palette is fun, bright and contemporary—a sunny yellow. These 3-D figures began as digital creations, sculpted out of resin and painted. Their form was initially inspired by the towering abstract sculptures Mitic produced from images of paint splashes on his studio floor. Edition one of ten.
“This character has emerged from a shadow of one of my sculptures (as in the video) I have always been a fan of science as well as science fiction writing and movies. For me, X-O-X is a ‘being’ that came out of a technological world possibly from another galaxy.” Viktor Mitic
“As an icon, or hybrid worthy Viktor Mitic- X-O-X has a synthetic, playful identity. It’s culturally a fusion of influences brought together in one formal public sculpture.” John K. Grande, author, poet, essayist
He earned a BFA from the University of Toronto in 1995 with studies in art history at Sheridan College. He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired...
