I want people to first and foremost appreciate the dynamic movement and interesting forms of the sculptures. Since these are sculptures of breakdancers, I also want to paint them to give them the freedom to 'wear clothes.' That’s why I colour them.

B BOY JUSHI dances into resin in Taku Obata's dynamic collectable sculpture.
Captured in motion, the dancer’s fluid pose pays homage to Taku’s own experience in Japanese breakdancing crews. B BOY’s agility shines in a balancing act of angular limbs – his signature oversized hat and futuristic goggles lay perfectly vertical as he throws his body down to the floor. Clad in hand-painted neon pink streetwear, the character's energy is brought to life in vivid colour.
