Philip Lumbang invites you into the world of his Awesome Bear character with solo show The New Adventures of Awesome Bear at myplasticheart! Weâve seen Awesome Bear as Yoda, Voltron and even as a Ninja Turtle, and now weâll take a further look into the depths of this characterâs world. Philip has been creating bear creatures for awhile now, recognized for this in our bear-themed show last February, Rabid, Wild & Docile. Early on in his work as an artist, Philipâs bears were used to channel the noise, traffic and bad habits he found in LA, but over time, his bears shifted from rude to charming and served as a counter to the worldâs problems. We can see that shift in the happy demeanor and wide grin of the Awesome Bear character, which we are excited to celebrate in Philipâs solo show.
To learn more about Philip, have a look at his home studio in this post. Also, keep your eyes on our blog for sneak peeks of the work from this upcoming show.
