POTCHI MOOPP Sculptures

Japanese, b. 1984

Potchi Moopp, a trailblazing Japanese artist, is redefining the intersection of fine art and manga through her visually arresting works. Moopp, a young talent, is deeply influenced by the immersive environments of virtual worlds, seamlessly integrating these elements into her artistic expression. Her art is characterized by a unique motif: Crazy Mushrooms, a playful homage to the globally beloved video game Super Mario Bros, reflecting the impact of digital culture on contemporary art. Her style resonates with American Pop Surrealism, as she draws from a palette of themes that echo her generation's affinity for virtual and fantasy realms. In Japan, where traditionally, there's a clear demarcation between fine art and comics, Moopp stands as a pioneering figure. She bridges this divide, gaining recognition and admiration from enthusiasts and critics in both spheres. Her approach represents a growing trend among new-generation artists who challenge and blur the conventional lines in the art world. Moopp’s creative process is guided by intuition rather than deliberation, allowing her to channel her instincts into her art. While her work initially appears to be filled with joy and whimsy, a closer look reveals layers of complexity and a subtle undercurrent of aggression, mirroring her personal struggles and societal observations. Embracing her identity as an avatar of the digital age, Moopp often includes representations of herself reminiscent of virtual characters. This deliberate choice highlights her connection to a generation that finds comfort and identity in the digital landscape. Her ability to amalgamate the realms of fine art and comics, once seen as distinct and unconnected, is a testament to the changing dynamics in the art world, breaking barriers and setting new precedents. In her art, Moopp does not just blend digital and traditional mediums; she reflects the evolving cultural tapestry where boundaries are fluid, and the fusion of disparate elements creates a rich, multilayered narrative. Her works are a celebration of this new era of artistic exploration, where the unexpected combination of various influences adds depth and intrigue. Potchi Moopp's journey in the art world is a compelling narrative of innovation and defiance of norms. Her work is not just a visual feast but a commentary on the shifting paradigms in art and culture, symbolizing the limitless potential of creativity in the digital era. As she continues to evolve and expand her artistic horizon, Moopp is poised to leave an indelible mark on the global art scene, inspiring a generation of artists to explore beyond the conventional and embrace the myriad possibilities of artistic expression.

As an art biographer, it is crucial to explore the intricacies of Moopp's creative journey and the origins of her fascination with magic, crazy mushrooms, and the enchanting landscapes of virtual fantasylands. Moopp's artistic genesis can be traced to her upbringing in Nagoya, Japan, where the rich tapestry of Japanese folklore, steeped in mythical creatures and whimsical landscapes, left an indelible mark on her imagination. Growing up in a society that gracefully blends tradition with cutting-edge technology, Moopp found herself captivated by the seamless coexistence of the old and the new, the tangible and the digital. The world of Japanese manga and video games, with its vibrant hues and fantastical narratives, became a wellspring of inspiration for Moopp. In particular, the iconic imagery of mushrooms, as seen in the renowned Super Mario Bros...

Pigasus - Pink Pig Resin Sculpture
By Patrick Schumacher
Located in Miami, FL
In the Greek mythology, Pegasus was a handsome white winged horse. He was in charge by Zeus to bring thunderstorms and lightenings upon the Olympus Mount, known to be the Home of the Gods. In more recent times, Pigasus turned into a 145 pounds domestic pig, nominated for President in the 1960's by the Youth International Party the Yippies. This movement became popular for their stands against war and political establishment. Patrick Schumacher was inspired by this symbolic animal as a memorial of the Peace and Love era. Born in 1953, Patrick Schumacher is a German contemporary sculptor based in Nice, France. Classically trained in the foundation of Art in Strasbourg, France, he specialises in restoring art antiquities. As a result of his training, Schumacher acquired an extensive range of technical knowledge which he applies to a broad spectrum of materials.

"MIDNIGHT BLUE", sculpture, clay, relief, abstract, contemporary, ceramic
By Harold Wortsman
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Midnight Blue, a ceramic relief sculpture of high-fired porcelain pigmented with oxides, paint and epoxy, is a recent work by New York artist Harold Wortsman. This sculpture is ready to be mounted to the wall. Note the artist's hand in the mark-making – cuts and radiating lines, the suggestion of maps, geometry and counting systems – it is characteristic of Wortsman's practice. Warm, contemporary, uniquely crafted, yet speaks to ancient, tribal traditions of art-making that cross cultures and histories. Highly attuned to the art of Africa, the Middle East, India and Asia, his forms are organic abstracts with masculine and feminine attributes that resonate together as a pleasing enigma. They make sense immediately, yet never give up all their secrets. Midnight Blue was recently exhibited at Harold Wortsman: Time and Space, Orange Art Foundation, New York City, February 2022. From Harold Wortsman – "With sculpture, my material of choice is high-fired clay. Pieces are first low-fired in an electric kiln. I do not use glazes. Instead, I use oxides applied to the bisqued (low-fired) clay. As with a tattoo, oxides permit the surface underneath to breathe—like naked skin. The work is then high-fired in a gas kiln with double reduction to cone 10. The final temperature is 2,300 degrees F. At a certain point, oxygen intake is reduced to the kiln. Because the fire has reached a critical mass, it needs oxygen and chemically takes it from the clay and the oxides painted on. Like a jazz improvisation, each kiln load comes out slightly different." From Jonathan Goodman – "Wortsman has increasingly moved into his own – a place in which the relations between the abstractions of volume and the intimations of very old culture are merged in a way that is new." – Essay, "Harold Wortsman: Time and Space", Orange Art Foundation, February 2022, New York City. Harold Wortsman is a sculptor and printmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. He “creates forms that bring to mind archaic cult objects and exude a quiet concentrated strength.” (Argauer Zeitung, Switzerland). His work, an edgy mix of freedom and clarity, can be found in public and private collections in the US, including The Library of Congress, Yale University, The New York Public Library Print Collection, The New York Historical Society, Smith College, Indiana University’s Lilly Library, Brandeis University, The Newark Public Library Special Collections Division, and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum Print Archive. Also in private and public collections in Europe, including the Municipal Collection of the City of Brugg, Switzerland. Harold studied at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, with sculptor George Spaventa...
