Poppi Barcelona – Who saw you before and who sees you now?

Description

All pieces are UNIQUE. They are numbered and signed by the author, and you won’t find two alike, monotypes. Is a limited series and when it is finished, the matrix/cast is destroyed. All are hand-painted by Felipao using different techniques according to the required finish.

The generic name of this breed of French bull-dog pet is POPPI.

Each POPPI is born with a certificate of adoption where his name, the owner ´s and his serial number appear.

Each POPPI has its own name. The names are a wink to creativity, irony and caustic humour.

The production is custom and hand-made. Each figure is manually extracted from a mould, where a blend of fiber glass is injected previously. The result is a figure with a very realistic expression, solid, compact and attractive.

SIZE:

Each piece is created on a one-to-one scale. It is the size of a real adult French bull-dog (In centimetres: 35cm height x 25cm width x 50 cm length . In inches: 14 height x 10 width x 20 length). I like them to be real size, because it gives a much more realistic sensation.

WEIGHT:

7kg aprox.

ART STATEMENT:
