Imbue (1988) - Faceless Cooperation (complete set)

Imbue 1988 Faceless Corporate Phone (limited edition) & Faceless Corporation Briefcase (limited edition) both new in original box. MAD PROFESSOR OF ART! Have you ever wondered what an artist would do with £1 million in shredded cash? Or how to steal a statue from The Louvre? Or even how to make a Chocolate Machine Gun? Well, Contemporary Artist and Mad Professor of Art; Imbue and his work have been featured in The Guardian, Art Net and in Forbes Magazine. But, to really understand it, you need to see it for yourself! And when you see it, you'll understand why I call him the Mad Professor of Art. From starting out with stickers pasted on Brighton streets to now casting million-pound skulls in shredded cash, Imbue's creative journey is a fascinating exploration of pop art, consumerism, and blending the familiar with the subversive. IT STARTS WITH STREET ART! Imbue's artistic origins stem not from formal training but from experimentation. He has always considered himself a maker and a builder. This hands-on approach continued when he became captivated by the emerging street art movement. Finding it liberating that you could just come up with an idea, put it out there and you didn't need any permission from anyone. One of Imbue's earliest provocative works involved repurposing a sweet vending machine to display what appeared to be bags of cocaine and heroin, then secretly installing it on Brighton Pier to record people's reactions. This guerrilla approach epitomised his early artistic ethos—creating without permission, generating unexpected reactions, and commenting on society through familiar but subverted imagery. EVOLUTION AND ART AS A BUSINESS! Imbue’s commercial journey began small, with some borrowed money from his brother to produce some limited edition screen prints. With local galleries beginning to stock and sell his work, Imbue kept pushing and promoting and trying to build a sustainable creative practice. His artistic vision consistently evolves! And, always the maker and builder, with new technologies Imbue was able to push his ideas much further. 3D printing allowed Imbue to start to create more sculptural pieces. Often revolving around repurposing familiar imagery—from religious icons to corporate logos—and creating unexpected juxtapositions that provoke thought. Imbue’s business acumen has proven as impressive as his creative vision. He has worked hard for 10 years to build sales through email newsletters, even before social media was readily availably to showcase work. Also creating the "24-Hour Art Club" offering limited-time mystery editions, and developed innovative concepts like hiding numbered bronze rabbits around the world for fans to discover. These approaches have built a loyal following and allowed him to maintain independence from traditional gallery representation.
