About the artist
Los Angeles based artist Josh Mayhem gained recognition with his Blown Away aesthetic, transforming designer toys and iconic pop art figures into high-end contemporary gallery sculptures that transport the viewer to a refreshing world of wonder and curiosity. He started by simply customizing small scale designer toys but quickly evolved to create unique, one-of-a-kind sculptures with his colorful signature windswept style that portrays the illusion of motion and chaos.
Mayhem’s work has been featured in museums, major art fairs and gallery exhibitions and he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the designer toy industry. His success can be attributed to his ability to combine popular pop art culture with high-end contemporary art, resulting in unique and captivating sculptures that push the boundaries of style and derivative art.
His customized designer toys and sculptures are made with acrylic paint and clear polyurethane resin on vinyl and resin. The drips giving each sculpture a kinetic movement, are sculpted and reinforced with wire and clay so they are very sturdy and not nearly as fragile as they look.
Josh Mayhem's goal as an artist is to challenge perceptions and push the boundaries of creativity by transforming popular pop art figures and designer toys into unique, visually striking sculptures. Through Josh Mayhem's work, his aim is to inspire and bring joy to people’s lives by creating one-of-a-kind pieces that captivate and delight viewers.
