XTC Artist - Mc Caviar Gold black with black Straw

XTC Artist - Mc Caviar Gold black with black Straw

Cornet de McCaviar gold and its black and white straw by XTC. Probably the most emblematic XTC work to date, in gold and black version. A détournement of a McDonald's cone, a future luxurious dish in fast-food version? Not so impossible! This isn’t a cardboard McDonald's cone; everything was created from plastics and painted by XTC. The glass dome is an integral part of the work. Signed and numbered 15 on the bottom, Certificate of Authenticity (COA) provided. (the copy sent is not necessarily the one in the photo) Careful, tracked shipping. Born in 1978 in the heart of France, XTC shaped his artistic universe through an interest in Design, Pop Art, and more recently Street Art. This visual exploration became a passion that was to be realized. XTC defines himself as a self-taught plastic artist, aligning with the Pop Art movement through the détournement 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 collide with the world of luxury (including Chanel, Hermes, Veuve Clicquot champagne, and even 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, advertising, and addictions in general. All potential defects or imperfections are an integral part of the work.
