Synopsis

Control Bear is a project with a distinct twist of black humor, which surpasses the traditional notion of a character and moves into the realms of art. Through a long period of trial and error in multiple mediums including typography, collage and illustration, the artist felt that the best way to share his message with many people was by using this character as a medium. By creating an image that is so unexpected and unusual - a cute, innocent bear taking off his own head - the artist communicates his message: you control everything, be strong willed and don’t be controlled by others or just follow what others expect you to do. While being extremely simple this piece of art holds a strong message.
