The Newport Mall brings Art of this World with Leeroy New, the larger-than-life installations from one of the country’s fast-rising multidisciplinary artists, Leeroy New. Take in the vibrant and fascinating sights of “Neon Spaceship,” “Sapphire Forest,” and “Bamboo Cave” throughout the three immersive rooms at Newport Mall.
Begin the extraordinary journey with the “Neon Spaceship” installation, a glowing front end of a spacecraft with hundreds of neon and LED signages on its surface. Onto the next destination, the “Sapphire Forest” showcases an enchanting view of blue synthetic trees made from plastic water containers and PET bottles. The “Bamboo Cave” makes for an enthralling finale as weaved bamboo and plastic cover the walls and posts of the whole room.
New is prominent for his large-scale creations crafted from reclaimed and reused plastics turned into décor. Some of his notable projects are the sculpted silicone bustier for Lady Gaga worn in the “Marry the Night” music video, solo show at Pintô International in New York, an exhibit at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and more.
Art of this World with Leeroy New is ongoing and can be viewed at GF, Newport Mall.
