Mojoko (Steve Lawler) will have a new print available soon titled, “No One Can Save Us” via Addicted Gallery. On sale Monday, June 27th at 9am Singapore time (Sunday, 6/26 6pm PDT) HERE.
This print was derived from the larger-than-life Melting Superhero which was placed in front of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) during the 2012 Future Proof exhibition.
A collaboration between Mojoko and fellow artist Eric Foenander, the massive figure in blue tights and a red codpiece was hard to miss and even more striking for its lack of torso and head. At first glance it was comical – this gaudy, brawny mess dripping and dissolving like a giant candle. But it didn’t take long before the message was clear – No One Can Save Us.
The artwork sums up how even our superheroes can’t prevent us from continuing to heat up the planet and destroy our own existence.
