Mundo at Into The Abyss
Edmund "Mundo" Holmes dropped a bombshell at this year's Into The Abyss, unveiling a sculpture that turned heads and shattered expectations. The buzz started the moment the shroud came off, revealing a piece that was as much an engineering marvel as it was an artistic tour de force. Mundo confided to us that the creation process was a labor of love, involving meticulous CNC work, layered plasters, and rich, evocative paint.
The sculpture is quintessential Mundo, capturing his signature theme of a face looking outward—or upward, in this case—infused with potent symbolism and dynamic gestured line-work. It’s a visual narrative that demands and rewards close inspection, each angle offering a new revelation.
But the magic didn't stop there. We brought in Hasmood, the virtuoso of lighting effects, to collaborate on bringing Mundo’s creation to life. And bring it to life he did. Hasmood’s lighting wizardry bathed the sculpture in an ever-shifting play of light and shadow, turning it into a living entity that seemed to breathe with the energy of the crowd.
The response? An incredible vibe, and a palpable sense of awe. Mundo and Hasmood created not just a sculpture but an experience—an electrifying synergy that left an indelible mark on everyone who witnessed it. It was a night where art transcended its boundaries, and for those who were there, it was nothing short of legendary.
