CØUD*3TAT (1984) - 1% Game of Thrones

“1% — GAME OF THRONES” The world is their playground. Money is their weapon. Power is their obsession. 1% — Game of Thrones is an original work created in 2025 by contemporary artist CØUD3TAT (Coup d'Etat). Through this creation, the artist distorts an industrial metal barrel to transform it into a provocative contemporary sculpture, blending street art, pop art, political satire, and social critique. The work explores the mechanisms of power, the concentration of wealth, and the inequalities that shape our society. Its title directly refers to the 1% of the population who hold a substantial share of global wealth, as well as to the political, economic, and media influence struggles that determine the rules of the game. A composition rich in symbols. Entirely worked around its circumference, the barrel presents a 360° artistic composition, combining different techniques and visual references: - Power and politics: caricatured political figures, leaders and authorities confronted with their own contradictions. - Money and domination: banknotes, gold bars, and financial symbols evoking wealth concentration and the influence of economic elites. - Social inequalities: street art-inspired compositions illustrating power dynamics between social classes. - Global imbalance: representation of a fractured planet, symbol of a world divided by economic and geopolitical interests. - Popular culture and protest: visual references, détournements and collages mixing dark humor, irony, and critique of the system. The upper surface of the barrel also constitutes a separate composition. It incorporates representations of banknotes, monetary elements, and decorative details imprisoned under a glossy transparent finish. The various layers of paint, collages, metallic effects, and textures give the whole a particular visual depth. Each viewing angle reveals a new scene, a new symbol, and a new reading of the artwork. The artistic concept: “The world is their playground. Money is their weapon. Power is their obsession.” With 1% — Game of Thrones, CØUD3TAT offers a reflection on the boundary between political power, financial might, and mass manipulation. By diverting a daily industrial object, the artist transforms a simple barrel into a vehicle of political and social expression. The work deliberately plays on contrasts: wealth and poverty, domination and submission, humor and violence, popular aesthetics and institutional critique. A piece that engages as much by its aesthetics as by its message. “This is not fiction. It’s the real Game of Thrones.” Technical specifications Artist: CØUD3TAT Title: 1% — Game of Thrones Year of creation: 2025 Type of work: Contemporary sculpture Technique: Mixed media, collage, painting, metallic effects Support: Industrial metal barrel Height: 60 cm Diameter: 39 cm Circumference: 120 cm (approximately) Weight: 6 kg Style: Street Art, Pop Art, Urban Art, Contemporary Art Edition: Original work — 1/1 Signature: Signed work with COA Condition: See detailed photographs A collectible piece.
