Core Design Workshop is hosting its debut exhibition of art toys and paintings, known as Cross Encounter -KL Edition. This initiative is a collaboration between Malaysia’s Core Design Workshop and Thailand’s DDD Arttoys @dddarttoys aiming to introduce Malaysian audiences to different forms of art and their trends, particularly three-dimensional collectibles featuring Asian artists’ popular figurines and signature characters.
The exhibition aims to provide a fresh perspective to Malaysia’s art and cultural ecosystem by emphasising the importance of transnational and cross-cultural influences. It highlights the need for international elements to infuse the local market, offering a broader and more diverse artistic experience.
Cross Encounter: A Fusion of Thai and Korean & Japanese Artistry
is a unique collaborative effort that brings together Thai and Korean & Japanese artists for a cultural exchange through the mediums of art toys and paintings. The exhibition serves as a platform for cross-cultural dialogue, enabling artists from these nations to explore, share, and celebrate their rich artistic traditions.
In Malaysia, for the first time, we will have the opportunity to witness the works of renowned Art Toy Artists from Hands in Factory and Bazbon, including UPTEMPO, Leedongjae, Dding and Aone, making it the highlight of the exhibition. Their innovative creations will take center stage, providing a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of contemporary toy art.
