Kidrobot + Parra – Pierced

Inspired by the melodramatic cover art of romance novels and based on his original silkscreen artwork, Kidrobot has teamed up with Dutch artist Parra to release Pierced - a 10-inch tall vinyl sculpture that depicts two figures entwined and suspended in a dramatic dance of passion and pain, revealing multiple levels of love.

The figure was produced as a limited edition of 300 pieces with the artist’s signature engraved on the bottom. Look for the figure to be released on June 7th 2012, selling for $150.00.
