Contents Under Pressure by ChrisRWK x UVD Toys

NYC-based graffiti artist ChrisRWK continues his collaboration with UVD Toys to convey an formidable challenge to life. A intelligent mix of phrase play and compelling idea, the Contents Under Pressure vinyl artwork toy options the artist’s signature robotic trapped in a transparent spray can. ChrisRWK describes the idea as having two distinct meanings, each a reference to the strain to create and the bounds created by others as they pigenhole artists, narrowing alternatives. Speaking of limits and strain, the idea builds on the spray can metaphor with a basic spray can ball hooked up to the robotic’s ankle, ball and chain type.

The idea behind the brand new artwork toy started as an arresting drawing and over time has resurfaced and developed as an authentic portray and bronze sculpture. Pushing manufacturing boundaries, the artwork toy encompasses a vinyl toy of ChrisRWK’s robotic and a separate ‘spray can’ with a see-through acrylic design. And sure, the robotic is separate and may be simply eliminated and displayed by itself.

The Contents Under Pressure vinyl artwork toy (7″ robotic, 10″ acrylic can) is obtainable for pre-order (via April 4th 2024) from UVD Toys for $150. The artwork toy set is anticipated to ship in October 2024.
