Challenging perceptions and pushing the boundaries of creativity by transforming popular pop art figures and designer toys into unique, visually striking sculptures. Through my work, I aim to inspire and bring joy to people’s lives by creating one-of-a-kind pieces that captivate and delight viewers.
About the Artist
Los Angeles-based artist Josh Mayhem gained recognition with his Blown Away aesthetic, transforming designer toys and iconic pop art figures into high-end contemporary gallery sculptures that transport the viewer to a refreshing world of wonder and curiosity. He started by simply customizing small-scale designer toys but quickly evolved to create unique, one-of-a-kind sculptures with his colorful signature windswept style that portrays the illusion of motion and chaos.
Mayhem’s work has been featured in museums, major art fairs, and high-end gallery exhibitions, and he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the designer toy industry. His success can be attributed to his ability to combine popular pop art culture with high-end contemporary art, resulting in unique and captivating sculptures that push the boundaries of style and derivative art.
Sink Your Teeth Into Even More from Jumping the Shark!
Jumping the Shark! A Custom Art Show features the works of approximately 30 artists — from the Sideshow studio and around the world — showcasing their unique, one-of-a-kind visions for the same 28” resin great white shark “blank” base figure.
Victims of their own outsized reputation, many iconic species of shark are in danger of extinction. In honor of the completed works, a donation will be made to the Shark Allies marine life charity for the preservation of these magnificent creatures, so that generations of artists can enjoy their thrilling, prehistoric beauty for decades to come.
