ARTHUR – pure chaos in glass
ARTHUR from the ODD BIRDS collection is inspired by Arthur Fleck from the film “Joker” (2019) – the character behind Batman’s arch-enemy from Gotham City. The “Clown Prince of Crime” is considered one of the most influential supervillains in pop culture.
Unmistakable down to the last detail
Pale appearance, poisonous green hair, blue-painted diamonds around the eyes and a bright red, frozen grin – ARTHUR picks up on the features that make this character so iconic.
The colors are bold, direct, and unapologetic: orange, purple, green, and red stand side by side, creating an effect that cannot be overlooked.
Fascination of an opponent
The Joker stands for that which cannot be controlled. Not a quest for power or wealth, but a deliberate game of chaos and anarchy. His unpredictability is what makes him so effective – and a character that has been present in comics, films and games for decades. However, the Joker is also seen as an expression of social aberrations, a broken individual who represents the abysses of the human psyche.
This tension between fascination and revulsion is what makes ARTHUR so interesting. It is not pleasing, defies clear categorization and cannot be pigeonholed – and this is precisely where its strength lies.
