Studio Job designed and executed this whimsical stage set for its first-ever music project with British musician Mika. During the artist’s ‘No Place in Heaven’ tour, the stage design elevated all of the artist's performances.
Each art installation became a vital piece of the overall production. Studio Job used a large disco ball, psychedelic lights and over-sized mural paintings to captivate the audience and enhance Mika's musical performances. Each image -- which displayed things from chimneys to sinking ships -- was hand-drawn on small pieces of paper. These images were later blown up into massive, stage-sized artworks.
By layering each of the elements of the stage set, a hybrid of two and three-dimensional perspectives was achieved.
