The decorative arabesques of metal engraving take on a colour-shifting finish of peacock hues. Recalling the golden age of theatrical feats of illusion and vaudeville showmanship of the 19th century, the Special Edition 400% Arabesque Magic BE@RBRICK ROYAL SELANGOR conjurs a mood of mystery and the unexpected.
Since first appearing in Tokyo in 2001, the BE@RBRICK, a cartoon-like figure of a bear, has acquired international cult status. Released by MEDICOM TOY in a variety of materials and sizes, and with contributions from a host of international collaborators, the figure embodies the intersection of contemporary notions of art, style, design and fashion.
