I recently mentioned (here) about hunting down some Neth Creatures by J Neth and guess what? I picked up NC.7 from a seriously cool fellow boardie. Love it to bits and I knew straight away this is my favourite NC from the series of nine. I do not hope to convince myself to hunt down the rest of them. Well... maybe just NC.8 and NC.1 (click to view all NCs).
This is one artist whom I had not the opportunity to lay my eyes on until recently. J Neth's works is something that I, very slowly, grew fond of. Strangely, he never really got near to building a very big fan base. However, he did manage to gather a comfortable number of dedicated fans.
From my point of view, his works is of a minimalist's approach; in reference to his toys, they are more like artistic ornaments to a contemporary home. These are not toys. They deserve more than a mere glass cabinet with halogen lighting and protected from dust. If I do own one, I would place it where every guests in my home sees it; right smack at the center of my coffee table.
