About The Artwork

A collaboration with the photographer Alexis Chabala. The controversial pieces in the collection are the creations that evolve when fire comes into contact with children’s toys. Simon has been inspired by these destructive forces and the results of combining them with the strong vibrant colours and features of the toys. The work symbolises the myriad scars left on children when their parents go through a break-up. The bright blue eyes, glossy golden hair and the smile on the doll’s face still shine through, despite the side of her face being singed - a reflection of the innocence which children still have despite often being confronted with the harsh realities of family break-ups. Toys resemble the beauty and innocence that their young minds are intuitively drawn to despite the difficulties of the realities they may be facing.

Created in 2013 in a coffee shop in Camden, JakBox is the artistic lab of Simon Williams, and operates like a box from which his visions jump out. JakBox’s creativity and artistic ideas date back to Simon’s studies in architecture, his debut as a talented pavement artist, alongside the development and running of long- established, and highly respected graphic design studio, Feast Creative. Feast were recently responsible for creating the world-renowned Harry Potter and the Cursed Child graphic image. JakBox is the culmination of some thirty years of witty observations, thoughts and experiences in many different art forms. The past three years have seen numerous creations, exhibitions in galleries and art fairs as well as TV interviews and local authority commissions. JakBox brings to the public playful and bright insight, amongst others, into the urban environment and commentaries on the contemporary art market, or through bodies of works succeeding one another like a chain of moments in life. Each line of work has its own identity but they are all linked together by notions and conceptual spaces that Simon asks the viewer to explore through different ways to look at the same, the overseen, whilst being all wrapped in the ticking clock of the 'Days To Go' in a world ruled by money, life-cycle and the market rules. Simon is a forward-thinking artist, whose gutsy concepts are expressed through accidental aesthetic artworks giving us an invitation to watch moments of life through his eyes. He is, step by step, establishing his home in the art world. This is JakBox. Please ask for the full 'JakBox Presents' at artist@jakbox.co.uk See more at: www.jakbox.co.uk
