SKE - Cocaine Bullet - Suprême Red

- Artwork provided with a certificate of authenticity, signed and numbered by the artist SKE.
- Number 04/50
- “Addicted to style. Overdosed by brands.”
Symbol of power, elegance, desire… and sometimes of dependence.
Behind the veneer of luxury, “Cocaine Bullet” questions the blurred boundary between admiration and addiction.
This series of 4 works, inspired both by the codes of luxury and the culture of excess, denounces with irony our thirst for possession and recognition.
Each piece is a cartridge of illusion: shiny, attractive, but empty of meaning once consumed.
Because deep down, the real overdose is that of appearances.
- Supreme Theme, Coca-Cola, and Louis Vuitton monogram

- ARTIST BIO:
SKE is a self-taught French artist and all-rounder who grew up immersed in the culture of the 80s/90s, inspiring a large part of his artistic works.

He continually explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stenciling, graffiti, urban installations and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with a double meaning, unite the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art.

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s profile has risen notably. Winner of the first prize in the Urban Master contest (2023), then elected Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025).
SKE was selected as the “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, consolidating his place on the contemporary art scene. At the same time, SKE is also making his mark in the market for digital artworks, a major trend of the last two years, reinforcing the appeal of his creations to collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture play characterize a style now indispensable.

SKE is undoubtedly an artist to watch, to start or enrich a collection with rising value.

Artist Rated & Awarded – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art

A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY
SKE’s work sits in a prestigious lineage. His linework bears the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works bridge eras: they reinvent the classics, not hesitating to détourne (reinterpret) the 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 from our childhood. He stage-manages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and the symbolic greed of Scrooge McDuck. The influence of gaming, comics and graphic novels is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokemon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), via Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of a 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 beside logos of luxury and fashion giants. His canvases capture the “Hype” aesthetic: you encounter the sneaker universe (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and haute couture (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not to forget mass-consumption icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured finishes that sometimes evoke the glossy finish of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski.

This artwork is ideal for enriching a collection or adding a dynamic touch to your interior.
