About the artwork
This work by Soyz Bank features the cover of Walt Disney's Peter Pan Treasure Chest, published by Dell Comics in 1952. The book is a comic strip telling the story of Peter Pan, shown on the left with Tinkerbell. Using resin to reproduce this creation from popular culture, Soyz Bank folds the cover, creating creases without compromising legibility. These folds, like the marks of time, nostalgically evoke the bygone era of childhood. Focusing exclusively on usually flat, everyday materials, the artist transforms them and breathes new life into them through her singular technique, which oscillates between digital printing and sculpture. Finding her creativity in that which is easily forgotten, the artist opts here for the cover of a book that tends to fade from memory after childhood.
Expert opinion
Giving three-dimensionality to a flat object, Soyz Bank reinvents the cover of a famous children's book.
About the artist
Born in 1988, Soyz Bank is a French artist. His practice is based on what he calls the "Reality concept", which enables him to transform a flat object into a three-dimensional sculpture. Fusing sculpture and digital printing to create unique works, he takes commonly flat objects from everyday life and popular culture, crumpling them up in resin to add volume. For example, he creates works using Monopoly cards, banknotes and even book covers. Seeking to bring supports and objects to life, he draws his inspiration from easily forgotten but highly symbolic elements, such as champagne labels. Soyz Bank's work is presented internationally and within the Los Angeles-based Mind the Gap collective, which also includes artists such as Ava.
