Art toys represent a vibrant trend in contemporary art. Curators have brought together Russian artists who work with designer toys on a single platform. Zak Mini Monster, Evgeny Ches, Danil Yad, and many others will showcase their figurines, accompanied by pieces from the Riki Toys collection, which provides context for the development of this art direction.
The Riki Toys collection belongs to Ilya Popov, co-creator of KikoRiki, founder of the Riki Group, and the R.Toys platform. The collection features works by iconic artists, including KAWS, known for his character "Companion," inspired by Mickey Mouse. Many consider Companion an icon of our time.
