“Never Apart “ is a collection of mixed media paintings by artist Jays Phua, characterized by Popobe PVC bear figurines affixed onto painted canvases.
The Singaporean artist, known for his abstract acrylic paintings, started using PVC bears in his art 4 years ago. While experimenting with mediums, Jays made his first Never Apart series with Popobe PVC bears from his 30 year old toy collection.
The experimental pieces were an instant hit with his audience on social media, and he was soon receiving requests for more works of the same style.
Never Apart paintings are available individually and frequently classified into series of 3 - 5 pieces each.
Works from the same series are created at the same time with the same materials or of the same style. Some series, encouraged to be purchased as a set, extends into larger wall arts with a continuous, flowing background when the displayed in sequence.
All Never Apart paintings are numbered and signed by the artist, and accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.
