Opening this weekend at Clutter: Kyle Kirwan "Cacophony" Solo Show

Clutter Gallery presents: 
Cacophony - A Kyle Kirwan solo show!
Opening Sat, May 12th!

The Clutter Gallery is excited to open its doors this weekend to Cacophony - A solo show by amazing resin casting, art wonderer, Kyle Kirwan.
Kirwan previously lived in New York City for over a decade before hitting the road in 2015 with his love and his art, in their RV (fondly named Sandwich). Traveling full-time, creating art amidst amazing backdrops and narrowly escaping site-specific hazards, he has been prolifically taking the art toy scene by storm. We are extremely happy to say he will be making his return to New York with this celebration show at the Clutter Gallery!
Featuring brand new work, customs, and prototypes, we are excited and sad to play host to the final three Willo releases.

Trash Bag Bunch XL Kickstarter by Last Resort Toys is LIVE


The goal of this Kickstarter is to factory produce original vinyl toys licensed from the 1991 toy series, Trash Bag Bunch. These are new, larger-scale toys, based on the characters from the classic toy line. Trash Bag Bunch XL are four times the size of the original mini figures with added detail and articulation. Designed, sculpted, and prototyped by hand.


What's Trash Bag Bunch?

Trash Bag Bunch was a set of mini figures released by Galoob in 1991. It had a great play gimmick where the toys were packed in little trash bags and you didn't know what toy you had until you dropped the bag into water where it would dissolve; frothing and foaming to reveal your new toy! If you want to take a deeper dive into the history of the toys, take a peek at Mel Birnkrant's website where he details the conception of these gross little guys.

Coarse Toys Paw Golden God custom from Big C


A group of archaeologists found a glowing stone, while traveling through the jungle overnight.  The next day they realized that this mysterious stone belonged to a giant statue dedicated to the golden god.  During the excavation process, one of the workers was mortally wounded, and as soon as the first drop of blood hit the statue, the statue awakened, as the stone turned to gold. This piece represents the golden god, mid-transformation.



Big C has done it again, this time using his talents to transform a Raw Paw (Coarse Toys) into the Golden God. I love the way he captured the effects of aged stone that has been sitting in the jungle, partially covered in moss and dirt.  The transition from stone to gold is seamless and the greenish eyes and blood give this piece just enough color to make it pop.  Oh....and did I mention that it glows?  The glow on this piece is amazing.



Big C created this piece for his own personal collection, but he is willing to field offers.
