With the upcoming release of Stranger Things season four, artist Yusuke Hanai has designed a sculpture and print collection titled ‘Coffee and Contemplation’ that celebrates the series’ beloved character, Jim Hopper. The 1-meter statue of Jim Hopper does not stray from Hanai’s signature art style, including an expression that makes Hopper look like he is deep in thought. Hopper holds a cup of coffee and a pen, clad in his sheriff uniform.
Yusuke Hanai has recently collaborated with AllRightsReserved to release a solo exhibit of 3D artworks. The Jim Hopper statue comes complete with a 610 x 460 cm print signed and numbered by Hanai. The sets will be capped at 100 pieces and up for grabs during Hanai’s online draw.
