JAW DROP SKULLS ON DRUM — Pop Art Monument Sculpture | HYPNOTIQ
Maximum concept. Maximum drama. Zero compromise.
The Work: Jaw Drop Skulls on Oil Drum is the monument-scale version of HYPNOTIQ's Jaw Drop series — expressive, open-jawed skulls mounted atop a custom oil drum base that elevates both the subject and the concept. Created by Arian Lori-Amini in 2022, this piece combines industrial iconography with mortality's most ancient symbol, creating a work that is simultaneously industrial, philosophical, and genuinely beautiful.
The Experience: At floor level it's a statement. On a pedestal it's a monument. In either configuration it commands the room with the particular energy of work that has something to say and the craft to say it memorably.
Materials & Craft: Resin cast jaw-drop skulls, custom oil drum base, metallic paint detailing, acrylics, epoxy seal, high-gloss and matte finish combination, display hardware.
Dimensions: approx. 32" H × 20" W × 20" D | approx. 22 lbs | Floor or plinth display.
Year: 2022 | Edition: One-of-a-kind original. Studio release by Arian Lori-Amini (HYPNOTIQ). Not available in editions.
Collector Notes: Monument-scale sculpture in the memento mori tradition commands significant collector interest — particularly pieces that combine industrial and fine art elements in a single, coherent work. This is HYPNOTIQ's most ambitious skull piece.
