Nowadays, with the internet becoming an integral part of our lives, Indonesia's younger generation seems to be more familiar with foreign cultures. They easily adopt any culture they find interesting into their lives. One of those known as Urban Art, started out in early 90s, sparked a whole new generation of artists who fused art into applicable daily objects. Urban Art varies from paintings on paper and canvas to murals, graffiti, even toys and figures.
With this in mind , proxyfigures plan to release their first original figurine series, titled 'Mythical Bean' in 2010. This is an attempt to combine Indonesia's cultural icon with newer medium, so it appeals to a much wider (and younger) audience. Gatotkaca will be the first on the line to be released, as a limited edition resin figures, with only 100 pcs available worldwide.
About proxyfigures: proxyfigures is a figurine studio established in 2006 by Sigit and Surya based in Jakarta, Indonesia. They began working on commissioned jobs on action figures and miniatures, ranging from minor conversions up to creating one-off figures. 2010 will be their debut with their own figurine line up.
