About this work
A unique sculpture that combines elements from different pop culture references. Specifically, it features a character that appears to be a blend of a stormtrooper from the Star Wars franchise and a traditional Buddha statue. The stormtrooper helmet is prominently displayed on the top, with additional stormtrooper elements integrated into the design. The figure is seated in a meditative pose, holding a small object in its hands, reminiscent of a traditional Buddha statue. The sculpture is adorned with various symbols and patterns, including a necklace with red beads and intricate designs on its body. The base of the sculpture has a textured, spiked appearance, adding to its distinctive look.Born into the greyness of England at the end of the Seventies, by the age of four Jon-Paul Kaiser knew that what he wanted to do in life was a draw. From that point he rarely strayed from that path; scribbling and doodling his way through School, College and University. After working with Porlzilla, Jon-Paul decided to go it alone concentrating at first on the toy customization scene, building up a name and strong reputation for himself with his stark Black & White custom style, influenced by comic book art, film noir & Ukiyo-e prints. This lead to him being approached by established toy producers for designs for their platform toys. Principally amongst these are Toy2R who have released numerous JPK Platforms.
