XTC Artist - Mc Caviar Tiffany

XTC Artist - Mc Caviar Tiffany

Cornet de Mc Caviar x Tiffany with mother-of-pearl spoon by XTC. A reappropriation of a McDonald's cone, the crossing of luxury and mass consumption. This is not a cardboard McD cone; everything has been created from plastic materials and painted by XTC except for the genuine mother-of-pearl spoon. The glass dome is an integral part of the piece. Signed and numbered 1/15 on the bottom, number 1, the last one kept but eventually put up for auction! The other 14 have already sold. Certificate of Authenticity (COA) provided. The exemplar in the photo is not the one that will be shipped, but it will be similar and unique. Careful, 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 turned into a passion that needed 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 is expressed 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, mixing painting with all kinds of resins, plastics materials, and sometimes minerals. He draws inspiration, among others, from Banksy, Keith Haring, Orlinski, Andy Warhol, Obey, advertising, and addiction in general. All potential flaws or imperfections are an integral part of the artwork.
