This Friday – the day after Valentine’s Day – 3DRetro will release a new colorway of Gary Baseman’s epic bloody Ahwroo vinyl figure. Love is supposed to be light and pretty, but this Valentine’s Day it will be dark and vicious! So it’s only fitting that on February 15th, Black Valentine’s, Baseman and 3DRetro would release the Black Ahwroo. This all black figure will love you violently and viciously. Each figure stands 7.5” tall and comes packaged in a full color window box perfect for display. Collectors can purchase this retailer exclusive only at 3DRetro.com.
Ahwroo debuted in Baseman’s 2012 exhibition “Vicious” that showed in Milan, Italy at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea. Ahwroo appears in dozens of drawings and paintings cavorting in a mostly gray world. He engages with other Ahwroos, other creatures, and girls with hollowed out eyes. He’s obnoxious and aggressive, clever, curious. Ahwroo only wants some attention and affection, and draws blood when he doesn’t get it. When Gary created Ahwroo, he stood for hunger and the drive that humans can have when they want so badly something or someone unattainable.
