Luke Rook Exhibition at Giant Robot
Grody to the Max, the new Luke Rook toy exhibit at Giant Robot, opens today for any of you in Los Angeles between now and March 13. Rook’s Grody Shogun vinyl toys (website) started out strong and seems to keep growing in popularity, so I suspect that this show at Giant Robot will be well attended.
As with most cool events, of course, there is no chance that I’ll be going.
Luke Rook is a toy maker who moved to Japan to pursue his dreams of being part of the toy world. He researched and soon hit the ground running. He soon gained international recognition for his Grody Shogun figures as well as his unrelenting approach to toy making. There’s none other like him. His humbleness in his work is almost unique and his creativity and ability to think of how toys can be created and put together are that of a fine artist. He won’t hesitate to use parts and pieces that are normally discarded to use. He’ll blend parts of one figure and put them on another to create an entirely different object. We’re proud to bring his works to you in a gallery setting.
