ABOUT THE ART
Stemming from a concept and apparel line in the ’90s, Russ Karablin aka SSUR's 'Rebel Ape' character has been brought to life via a collaboration with 3DRetro.
Presenting the 'Rebel Ape' in a series of limited edition 12” bust sculptures in rotocast vinyl, the 'Rebel Ape' sculpture is inspired by a blend of motifs from Che Guevara and "Planet of the Apes" – instantly recognizable symbols synonymous with upheaval and anarchy.
While the 'Rebel Ape' bust made a successful debut at Shanghai’s Yo’Hood event to a selected crowd - now it will be available for purchase from September 19 via SSUR’s store (no longer active) and 3DRetro (no longer available) in black and army green... five other colorways due for release throughout the next several years.
