Description from the seller
- Limited edition of the work "Born with the Force" created by the artist SKE.
- Numbering 10/100
- The artist's note: "Born with the Force. Even under Vader's helmet, hope whispers."
"Born with the Force" blends the dark codes of the Empire with the pure innocence of childhood. A little girl, wearing a Dark Vader mask on her head, reaches out toward a blazing red star — a stylized echo of the legendary Death Star. Around her, the war machines advance, but she alone still seems to believe in the power of dreams.
Between engaged street art and homage to the Star Wars universe, this work distorts the symbols of power to reveal a subtle truth: even at the heart of chaos, light remains in those who have not yet forgotten how to hope.
- Certificate of authenticity included.
- Publisher: Atelier MONTMARTRE FineArt.
- High-quality print on 300 g/m2 art paper for faithful color rendering and the original work.
- Format A3 (42x29.7 cm), very easy to frame.
- Careful and secure shipping (Silk paper+Tube+Cardboard)
- BIO ARTIST:
SKE is a self-taught French artist with a versatile background who has grown up in the 80s/90s culture, influencing a large portion of his artistic works.
He constantly explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stencil, graffiti, urban installations, and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with a double meaning, fuse the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art.
After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE's market value has seen a notable rise. Winner of the first prize at the Urban Master contest (2023), then chosen as Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025).
SKE was selected as "Artist of the Month" by the Opulence gallery in October, and he also benefited from a feature in an American art magazine confirming his international recognition.
His works have already been exhibited in major venues in Europe, the United States, and Asia, solidifying his place on the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE also makes a mark in the digital art market, a major trend of the past two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations to collectors.
Icons of popular culture, bold graphics, and texture play characterize a style that has become indispensable.
SKE is undeniably an artist to follow, to start or enrich a collection with rising value.
Cited & Awarded Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art
AN UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE's work sits in a prestigious lineage. His line shows the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works create a bridge between eras: they revisit the classics, not hesitating to parody Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai's The Great Wave, or Picasso's deconstructed forms to confront them with a modern urban aesthetic close to Mr Brainwash or Kaws.
POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing on the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons of our childhood. He stages Disney’s universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and Scrooge McDuck’s symbolic greed. The influence of gaming, comics, and superheroes is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the iconic Game Boy, to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and the Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami.
LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style that sometimes recalls Alec Monopoly, the artist plays with codes of success and materialism. The Dollar symbol sits alongside logos of luxury and fashion giants. His canvases capture the “Hype” aesthetic: sneakers (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and haute couture (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also integrates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not forgetting mass-consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textures that sometimes resemble the glossy finish of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski.
This work is ideal for enriching a collection or bringing a dynamic touch to your interior.
