Coarsetoys unveils their long anticipated “false friends” series, a set of two original vinyl statues. The release incorporates key coarse characters ‘paw!’, a monkey cross rabbit, and ‘noop’, a human like being, as they portray another episode in the ongoing coarse story. The German artist duo behind coarse, once again showcase their distinctive aesthetic. Their forms are dominated by smooth curves, hard lines and sharp edges, combined to point of a unity. In past years, coarse has become renowned for its definitive style, its meticulous attention to detail and the vivid dreamscapes painted by its story line.
This rare edition includes ‘the colossal paw! and a freshly hatched noop, robed in his heavenly soft paw! suit.’ The 13” vinyl pair comes in glowing spring colors, put to sleep between two cotton pillows, every one embroidered with the individual running number. Safely packed in a hand crafted wooden box with a monkey rabbit nose handle and enclosed with a rubberband. Limited to 200 pieces with retail set at HK $4388 (Approx. $520 USD), the set will become available on January 7th, 2010 through Coarse HK and other select retailers.
