Art Talk – Mr. David Healey of ‘Healeymade’

David Healey - logo

Mr. David Healey of ‘Healeymade‘ has turned resin creation into an art form.

David produces resin art pieces – and a few collaborative soft vinyl works – that blur a viewer’s personal and visual memories.

A ‘Healemade’ work pushes the boundaries of creativity, beauty and innovation . Understandable from a man who lists directors such as Walt Disney and George Lucas, architects  such as Frank Lloyd Wright and designers such as Charles and Ray Eames as his major influences.

David’s talents have drawn the attention of the pop art world since his first formal show in 2006 at ‘Zakka’ in Brooklyn, USA. Fast forward to early 2014 and David has continued to wow the art world with his works.

Interestingly, David has collaborated with an astounding number of artists and creators: Morgan ‘The Sucklord‘ Phillips, ‘MISHKA‘, L’Amour SupremeBuff Monster and Skinner to name a few.

He has even made an official Lindsay Lohan resin piece, immortalising Lohan’s role as The Nun With a Gun in ‘Machete’ from 2010.

If you can imagine it. David can make it. And it will look beautiful.

Mr. Chris Tianto is a young artist hailing from Indonesia whose artistic creations hint at the destructive and beautiful powers of nature in all its forms: plants, animals and mother earth herself.

Chris has produced highly technical illustrations, that are both cramped and expansive at the same time. Like the feeling of standing alone in a large, overgrown forest. He has also released a resin sculptural piece called the Euranth – a manifestation of nature’s aggression and beauty – to much acclaim.

Extra Truckestrial - Logo

Dr Gonzo of Extra Truckestrial Custom Toys brings technical skill, and his own individual style to everything he creates –  paintings, toys, sculptural works and more.

Tim’s unique art is influenced by ancient civilizations, aliens and pop culture of the 1980’s. All of which can be seen in his latest work, the Lucha-Doh figure.

The Lucha-Doh is a resin creation utilising magnetic joints, with 9-attachments and counting. The attachments can be connected to the base figure, in almost endless combinations. It is a unique, innovative work, and Tim’s most creative piece to date.
