XTC Artist - Cerise Bleu de Chanel 30 cm

XTC Artist - Cerise Bleu de Chanel 30 cm

Blue Chanel resin Apple / Cherry by XTC. Approximately 15-17 cm in diameter and 30 cm tall with the stem. Residential resin sculpture manufactured commercially and customized, hand-finished by the artist XTC using acrylic paints and varnishes. The edition number applies to the finish painted by the artist and not to the base object. Numbered / 30 and signed underneath, Certificate of Authenticity (COA) provided. (The shipped piece is not necessarily the same as the photo but will be similar) Careful packaging and tracked shipping. Born in 1978 in the heart of France, XTC has shaped his artistic universe through an interest in Design, Pop Art, and more recently Street Art. This visual exploration has grown into a passion that was to be realized. XTC defines himself as a self-taught visual artist, aligned with the Pop Art movement through the subversion of contemporary consumer goods. His creativity expresses itself through the bold staging of icons of popular consumption (such as McDonald’s, Malabar, Chupa), which he makes clash with the world of luxury (including Chanel, Hermès, Veuve Clicquot champagne, or caviar) and Street Art, further blurring the already tenuous boundaries between these worlds. He expresses his art through sculpture, blending painting with all kinds of resins, plastics, and sometimes mineral materials. He draws inspiration, among others, from Banksy, Keith Haring, Orlinski, Andy Warhol, Obey, and advertising and addictions in general. All defects or imperfections are an integral part of the work. HAND-FINISHED “Sculpture made for commercial purposes, retouched by hand by the artist XTC using acrylic paints.”
