This is a project which has evolved over several years now, the original idea being of one Pink Panther's head, but which, as I kept adding the heads, became 13 Pink Panthers. I have always loved the Pink Panther movie and everybody knows it's an old classic and vintage crazy comedy, with two of it's most famous segments at the beginning and at the end, of the Pink Panther dancing away to that very distinctive and now classic tune. Then, as I like the cosmos and mysteries of the universe, I envisaged the panthers as creatures from space, with the brains and antennae visible at the back of their heads - why not ? One of my favorite bands is Emile Kusturica's No Smoking Band, and I felt this would be the perfect amalgam with this artwork, as their unique sound works well as an appropriate background thus completing this project. As the Band also often dance on stage in wild manoeuvres ala the Pink Panther, so I added large Cuban cigars to the mouths of the Pink Panthers and voila, that was it ! 13 ET Pink Panthers and Emile Kusturica's No Smoking Band was ready and looking happy. By the way the upper part can rotate 360%,and can be taken off for easier shipping and transportation.Also since the materials are mainly plastic and insulation materials and the whole sculpture is covered in resin it could be placed outdoors,and its also fairly light to move around.

Zeljko Lah in his early days was an artist and fashion designer in London during the late 1960-early1970’s, well known for designing Rock and Roll style of clothing and some of his clients included Frank Zappa, Santana, Queen, Deep Purple, Black Sabath,Andy Warhol, Hockney,Bacon Jimmy Hendrix and many others. Some of the shoes and outfits he designed are displayed in Hard Rock cafes and certain Museums.During this period he produced Pop Art artwork and exhibited in group shows in London and Paris. In the 1980’s he became an art dealer specializing in paintings from 1900 -1950’s, but his love of art was never too far and in 2010 he started again, painting, sculpting and designing installations using mostly recycling materials. He calls his sculptures Insulation Art,and has a registred trade mark Art Recyclage. His style is a cross between Abstract Impressionism and Modern Pop Art. Often the painting and sculpture merge into one. He also coined the phrase ‘PopKorny Art’, which has elements of his ‘tongue in cheek’ view of love and the life around us and expresses a symbolistic take on modern life. Zeljko believes that Art should be Fun. His main modus operandi is Art from the Heart, as he follows his natural talent and instinctively works on each project with an open mind and spontaneous improvisation, with the end result often a surprise. The artist lives and workes in several places Belgium,Slovenia,Florida. His Art has been sold at International auctions as shown on Askart.ArtPrice,Google,and also at Miami Basel,Palm Beach Art shows.The highest price for one of his installations was achived at an auction in Germany in May 2021 of apr. $55.000.
