INTRO
TheFinalBosses creates limited edition designer toys, designed to raise awareness on prevailing social problems around the world. The name "TheFinalBosses" came about because overcoming these social problems is very similar to battling the final boss of a game, it is usually not easy, takes a lot of time, and requires multiple tries.
PALADIN
Anti-bully
TheFinalBosses successfully launched their first designer toy exhibition, PALADIN at Gillman Barracks, in partnership with Art Outreach Singapore that ran from 11 to 27 June 2021.
Influenced by the Paladin’s principle to protect the innocent and uphold the law, PALADIN by TheFinalBosses aims to use art pieces as an avenue to shed light on the topic of Bullying, #designedforapurpose.
PALADIN is an exhibition that features original limited-edition designer toys from TheFinalBosses and 20 international and local partner artists.
With the upsurge of interest for designer toys and resurgence of figurative art, PALADIN emerges as an opportune showcase of artists coming together, weaving their narratives through their art, and translating their thoughts and lived experiences onto the toys and art pieces.
