Just over a year ago, VINS and Luke Chueh united to present to you ” Face to Face”! Luke starting 2022 with his signature bear. Fans of Luke will know already that Lukes’s pieces always have a deeper meaning behind them and this Face to Face clearly has a message behind it, Luke gives us the insight that Face to Face is about acceptance and empathy. Like we said last year when the 3D renders were teased HERE, It has been over three years since the last collaboration with Luke Chueh and VINS, worth the wait? We think so. A much deeper meaning to this latest art collectible from the veteran of the scene, Luke. Powered by VINS, turning one of Lukes’s 2D art into this “Face to Face” art sculpture for VINS Gallery grand opening. We can interpret freely what Face to Face means personally, without saying a word we can enjoy the silhouette whilst wondering what Luke’s bear is thinking. Luke Chueh x VINS presents to you “Face to Face”. Right now the Artist Proof have landed at Luke’s studio and artist Proofs which sales 100% go to the artist themselves, helping the artists whilst fueling your own collection.
For almost two decades, I’ve employed my characters as metaphors of myself. Whether it’s deep introspective epiphany, or playful pop culture analysis, these characters deftly explore different aspects of my life.
“Face to Face” is about acceptance and empathy. The use of black and white makes it easy to illustrate the opposing values of the white bear and the black bear head it’s holding. That their heads also mirror each other in shape and expression puts into question their existence as opposites, subliminally suggesting they come from the same place. Rather than reject each other, the sculpture communicates a sense of recognition and compassion.
The world we live in feels like it’s becoming increasingly more divided. Political and philosophical conflict tears apart friends and families. My hope is that we can all eventually all meet face to face and realize that despite our differences, there’s room for understanding and goodwill.
