Bob Conge / recent works at Phillips Gallery Opening Sept. 22nd

"THE TOY AS ART" would be a befitting phrase to describe the arena my recent work inhabits. These are pieces inspired by the vivid memories of a fervent belief in the likes of Santa and Frankenstein, the tragic loss of that vibrant reality and on occasion my revulsion with the reality of today. My pieces find expression in the form of small sculptural figures in vinyl or resin and large folio limited edition prints.

Plaseebo: "The Misfits"

Introducing a new sculpt by Bob Conge and Ultra Limited series of customs from Plaseebo, "The Misfits".

Plaseebo plans to release six of the 9 inch one of a kind Misfit customs over the next 12 months. Each Misfit custom will be based on the new body sculpt in hand cast resin but will have a different head and hand paint.

The body chamber is filled with a magical mix of slowly moving gel colors and shapes illuminated from the back by a switched color changing LED unit that also lights the interior of the head.

RESTORE DEBRIS JAPAN Custom by Plaseebo

The Spirit who Restores by Bob Conge aka Plaseebo

He is the collective spirit of the people that will restore Japan from the damage suffered in the Tsunami. The base is covered with the debris of crushed cars and broken homes. The base also contains a color-changing LED unit that shines light up through the debris to illuminate the flag and figure when displayed in a darkened room.

I'm blown away by Bob Conge's custom DEBRIS JAPAN. Look closely at the base and you can see the broken homes and cars from the Tsunami. Details like the LED that shines light into the Japanese flag are fantastic. Beautiful piece.
