This is an absolutely stunning piece of art. There's no other way to describe this.
I've been a huge fan of Kenny Wong's Space Molly line since I first became aware of it - it's an instantly iconic design. Retro-futiristic, cute, and an open canvas to versatile interpretations.
But for some reason, it took me a very long time to actually pick one up. And this was my first pull.
I have mixed feelings on the use Basquiat's deeply personal work for pop art. I'm not opposed to it, I just have thoughts.
With that said, it's hard to deny how good it looks here. It's a genuinely beautiful piece of artwork. The way the colorway combines with Basquiat's transcendental streetwise artwork, the cute design juxtaposed with the raw and layered art.
It's a masterpiece of pop interior design - one that just so happens to be a toy.
