Saturn 85, Oil on Canvas 18" x 24"

Saturn 85 is the Seventh of Kyle La Fever's series, '4G-0T-10 (Forgotten),' featuring intimate portraits of cherished robot toys. This collection delves into nostalgia, exploring an adult's reflection on the profound connections formed between children and their favorite toys. These playthings transcended mere metal and plastic, acquiring nicknames, personalities, and relationships beyond their intended character.

In an effort to elevate and humanize these robot toys, Kyle La Fever chose the classical art form of portraiture. Children perceived these toys as having lives of their own, and Kyle aims to immortalize this connection through a series of sincere portraits.

Beyond being Kyle's favored childhood companions, these robots symbolize a broader commentary on AI-generated art. In embracing the irony, Kyle created this series as a testament to the kind of AI art he envisions—artwork that humanizes robots, offering a unique perspective in contrast to AI creations simulating one of humanity's most inherently human pursuits: the creation of art.

Saturn 85 is a robot Kyle found at an antique store in 2023. He never had this toy as a child but had fond memories of playing with they at the mall toy store KB Toys. They were often in store front bins with other laud and annoying battery operated toys that were located there to get attention of kids. This Toys was clearlly played with over the years and was missing parts but still works perferctly.
