I-Jud No.13: Contemporary Sculpture of Phuket
The Beginning of I-Jud
“I-Jud” (or Ai Jud in Thai) is a monumental dog sculpture standing about three meters tall. It is crafted from Acrylic Syrup, a material innovated by SCG Chemicals, which is highly durable for outdoor conditions and easy to mold. This gives the sculpture its contemporary aesthetic, strength, and longevity, allowing it to be displayed in open-air public spaces.
I-Jud was created as a symbol of art’s journey—moving beyond the confines of big cities and luxury galleries into public and community spaces—so that art can truly be accessible to everyone.
