Be captivated by the conceptual audacity and sculptural presence of "A Wood Awakening", an exclusive art creation by French artist Juce Gace. Presented here in its very elegant monochrome (Mono Edition / In Training) variation, this vinyl sculpture offers a totally unexpected, subversive, and poetic reinterpretation of the traditional character of Pinocchio. Released in 2020 by the prestigious Singaporean studio Mighty Jaxx, each piece plays on a striking retro contrast to adorn any space with humor and irreverence.

Visual Impact: Nostalgic, Chic, and Radical Graphics

Juce Gace excels in the art of reinterpreting childhood tales with modern sensibility and a decidedly adult, assumed sense of humor, creating unique three-dimensional volumes.

The Nuanced Variation: This model vibrates with an absolutely chic palette of black, white, and shades of gray, evoking the golden age of early black and white cartoons. Dressed in dark pajamas with an immaculate white trim, the character stands out beautifully. The matte gray tones applied to his skin and his faux wooden limbs give the work a timeless and deeply artistic dimension.

The Play of Proportions: The puppet's body, captured with arms raised to the sky in a burst of morning surprise, is enhanced by its witty central anatomical detail. The artist here ironiclly reinterprets the concept of lying: it is no longer the character's nose that lengthens upon awakening, but his silhouette beneath his shorts. A bold graphic nod that gains particular strength in this refined monochrome treatment.

Features

Signed Designer Art: Each sculpture showcases great technical skill, characterized by sharp surfaces and a perfect balance of the gray palette. The official markings engraved under the figurine's feet—the stylized Juce Gace logo and the MJI 2020 copyright—authenticate it as a gallery collectible.

Double-Sided & Panoramic Piece: The silhouette envelops the entire space. Whether viewed from the front to appreciate the theatrical facial expression or in profile to highlight the iconic curve and geometric line of the piece, it offers perfect visual dynamism from every angle.

Collector's Spirit: A true icon of global Art Toy culture, this monochrome edition is particularly sought after by collectors for its more understated and design-oriented "Arty" aesthetic. Its strong narrative presence blends wonderfully into the most demanding contemporary interiors.

💡 The Gallerist's Style Tip

"This 'Mono' version of 'A Wood Awakening' is a godsend for minimalist design enthusiasts. Unlike the more festive color version, this one integrates like a true classic sculpture. Ideally, display it on raw furniture (polished concrete, marble, or black wood) to accentuate its graphic and timeless character. Play with grazing light to sculpt the shadows of its pajamas and highlight the purity of its lines. It is the ideal piece to bring a touch of irreverent humor without ever disrupting the harmony of a very chic contemporary interior."
