JAW DROP SKULLS — Pop Art Memento Mori Series | HYPNOTIQ

They grin. They haunt. They've been thinking about mortality longer than you have.

The Work: Jaw Drop Skulls is HYPNOTIQ's signature memento mori series — a group of skulls mid-expression, caught in the moment of the great reveal: that thing all skulls know and all living things pretend not to. Created by Arian Lori-Amini in 2022 as a standalone tabletop series, these pieces bring humor, philosophy, and exceptional craft into a single, unforgettable collection of objects.

The Experience: They make you laugh. And then you look longer and feel something more complicated. That is great art — the thing that gets you in on one level and deepens on every subsequent level. These skulls deliver that experience perfectly.

Materials & Craft: Resin cast jaw-drop skulls, acrylics, metallic paint details, epoxy seal, high-gloss finish, individual display bases.

Dimensions: Each approx. 10" H × 8" W × 7" D | approx. 4 lbs each | Tabletop display.

Year: 2022 | Edition: One-of-a-kind original. Studio release by Arian Lori-Amini (HYPNOTIQ). Not available in editions.

Collector Notes: The Jaw Drop series is one of HYPNOTIQ's most conceptually consistent bodies of work. Collectors building a complete HYPNOTIQ holding frequently prioritize pieces from this series for the narrative depth they add to the overall collection.
