Rise and Shine to WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE Exhibition @ BLAXK by Action City

Hi Huneybees,

If you are into pop toy culture and love some cheekiness, check out the Juce Gace Awakening series exhibited at BLAXK by ActionCity (BLAXK). Best known for his signature piece A Wood Awakening, (where instead of a growing nose, Pinocchio gets an erection for his compulsive lying), he has gone on with more cheeky creations which will be displayed in the WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE exhibition.

A screenwriter by day and toy designer by night, Juce Gace spreads smiles with his tongue-in-cheek art creations by reimagining iconic characters in a cheeky tone. His name and brand became synonymous with his style of artwork which blends classic designs with an evoking twist of French humor, adult sensitivities, and modern satire.

With the message of 'waking up to a joyful day',  WOOD MORNING SINGAPORE features his creations in various mediums - art prints, sculptures, art toys as well as merch for his fans. Special edition highlights would be:

A Wood Awakening (BLAXK Exclusive)

Produced exclusively for the gallery BLAXK by ActionCity, this event-exclusive A Wood Awakening is in his classic pose but adorned in the rich colours of black and gold - celebrating the artist's inaugural milestone exhibition in Singapore and the region.

I Am Wood (Rainbow Chrome Edition)

The artist's hit design - I Am Wood is back! He shines bright like a diamond, reflecting the viewer in his eyes, his butt, or any naughty parts of his anatomy. Specially designed and selected by Juce Gace given the complexity of this chrome production technique and produced in very limited numbers, this colour symbolizes tolerance, happiness, and love. Furthermore, as a colourful garden city, Singapore is a unique blend of wood and metal, best represented by this stunning art figure.

JEM (Awakening Edition)

Beyond just showcasing his signature cheeky designs and characters, Juce Gace brings a local flavour to the exhibition through his collaboration with Singaporean artist Tanavit23! Best known for his signature character JEM - a little boy rocking a tiger hat - Tanavit23 enjoys creating art that juxtaposes the fierce and the cute.

After the COVID pandemic lockdowns, the 2 artists met last year and ideas between the two began to flow and fuse quickly. Blending their creative juices, gave birth to a new collaboration piece - JEM (Awakening Edition). The cuteness and elegance of Tanavit23's JEM character meet the cheekiness and wood pattern of Juce's work. 

JEM is now a real and happy puppet buddy, wearing light traditional-style clothes as well as his heavy winter-style tiger hat. Limited to a worldwide release of 100 pieces, this new toy figure is imbued with cheekiness to bring that mischievous yet adorable touch to your collection!

Other than the pieces Juce Gace designed and created, the exhibition also features numerous collaboration works with artists all around the world including Gregos, Rich Sheehan, Paisia, and Paul Jackson; all celebrating art in the spirit of fun, humour and contemporary relevance.

You can also find his soon-to-be-launched collaboration figure - Skulltoon Awakening, with Austria-based artist Theodoru. Bringing a twist on the little blue smurf, this blue, cute and cheeky figure will feature Theodoru's signature skull mask/face with Juce's sprinkle of magic to make everything rise.
