KIRAS - Ice cream - "BITE BY BITE" LIME

KIRAS - Ice cream - "BITE BY BITE" LIME

This wall sculpture in neon lime plexiglass features three “ice cream with a bite” sculptures and is a creation by Italian artist KIRAS, active in the contemporary pop art scene with international exhibitions and sales. A lively, luminous, and scenographic design object that unites pop freshness, light plays, and a three-dimensional construction rich in detail. The frame, entirely made of Neon LIME plexiglass, is built around the sculptures and is not removable: it becomes an integral part of the work, a true architectural element of light. The fluorescent plexiglass does not require any electrical power: it captures natural light and diffuses it with intense, vibrant, and almost electric reflections, creating a luminous halo that surrounds the entire composition. The neon-magenta hue, saturated and bold, amplifies the internal colors and gives the work a dynamic and pulsating presence. Inside unfold three bioplastic ice creams, molded with 3D technology and hand-finished. The chosen tones – magenta, lime, and fluorescent orange – are designed to dialogue with each other and with the neon frame, creating a harmonious yet explosive color sequence. Each popsicle is equipped with a bioplastic and wood stick, a detail that adds materiality and coherence with the pop language of the work. They are not simply three ice creams... they are three personalities: • one has just been tasted, • one has been devoured with enthusiasm, • one has been bitten “in secret.” The front panel in transparent plexiglass protects the sculptures and enhances their depth, creating a “bright showroom” effect that highlights every detail. The dimensions of the piece are 25 × 25 cm, with a thickness of about 4.5 cm, and it is prepared for wall mounting via rear drilled holes. It is a 100% Made in Italy design object that reinterprets the classic colorful popsicles by turning them into contemporary pop icons. KIRAS exhibits in Italian and international galleries and regularly participates in contemporary art fairs such as ART3F, ArtePadova, ArtParma Fair, and others. The work is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and the artist-branded box. Being a handcrafted work, minor irregularities are part of the natural manual process. The piece is intended for indoor environments; it is advised to avoid heat sources and to clean with a soft cloth. An important added value This type of artwork stems directly from KIRAS’s artistic research. The neon frame construction, the choice of materials, the fluorescent lime-dominated color palette, and the three-element composition are the result of an original and recognizable project. This is what makes the work authentic, distinct, and endowed with a quality that cannot be replicated: the original is this, with all its technical, aesthetic, and conceptual characteristics. Ideal placement Perfect in modern, bright, and contemporary spaces. The pink neon plexiglass creates natural light plays that showcase the three inner sculptures, making the work ideal for: - design entrances - minimal living - creative studios - walls dedicated to pop art The fluorescent frame, with its electric reflections, dialogues with the magenta, lime, and orange ice creams, creating a fresh, ironic, and surprisingly elegant focal point.
