Mojoko: The Master of "Trash Pop" Art!

“I love exploring dichotomies. Living in Asia you can see a lot of duality and I use that juxtaposition in my work: old and new, yin and yang, east and west. But things aren’t black and white. It’s the clash of these things, the grey area, that I’m trying to point out. Good versus evil is a myth of our own making.” ~ Mojoko (aka Steve Lawler)

The Boiling Frog Syndrome

Death (sitting in a hot tub): Your planet is boiling and all you guys seem to care about is insignificant stuff like celebrities, sports and gadgets. Why is that?

Dead Maiden [who got hit by a bus while she was on the phone}: Don't know, don't care.

A Frog: Got room for one more?

~ Death And The Maiden, Jorgen Van Santen

"No One Can Save Us" by Mojoko, 2014

Arty-Fact: “No One Can Save Us” was derived from the larger-than-life Melting Superhero which was placed in front of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) during the 2012 Future Proof exhibition.

A collaboration between Mojoko and fellow artist Eric Foenander, the massive figure in blue tights and a red codpiece was hard to miss and even more striking for its lack of torso and head. At first glance it was comical – this gaudy, brawny mess dripping and dissolving like a giant candle. But it didn’t take long before the message was clear – No One Can Save Us.

The artwork sums up how even our superheroes can’t prevent us from continuing to heat up the planet and destroy our own existence.

Reactive Wall, was a temporary show by artist Mojoko (a pseudonym of Singaporean artist Steve Lawler) and software programmer Shan-Liang that shows bright graphics on a black wall. The work is audio reactive, displaying random imagery upon hearing a sound. The amplitude of the sound directly affects the size of the imagery shown in the wall.
