AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited edition of 12 signed copies WORLDWIDE -

Digital painting (not AI) photographic print on premium paper – white frame + plexiglass + mat – hand-signed – with certificate of authenticity

Each work in the Happy Drug series is conceived as an “emotional pill” encapsulating a piece of popular culture.

“We extract pure emotion — one capsule at a time.”

Popléa, the anonymous artist behind the “Popléa Labs,” explores here the addictive power of icons. Each capsule captures a fragment of collective memory — a fragment of childhood — and transforms it into contemporary art that is ironic, luxurious, and deeply human.

Each print becomes an art prescription — a “Happy Drug” for those who still know how to smile at everything.

The artist Popléa:
If you own this work, you hold an authentic piece signed Popléa. But you should know: Popléa is a pseudonym. They have not yet revealed their identity — deliberately. This choice is part of a broader artistic project, a form of experiment:
Create without a name, without status, without biography.
The work alone. The image alone. What it evokes. What you feel.
The artist behind Popléa is already exhibited, recognized, collected — but chose to explore another path, freer. Refusing filters, codes, discourses.
Refusing that it is always the same — galleries, experts, networks — who decide what has value.
Perhaps what you own is the beginning of something.
Or perhaps it is simply a work that speaks to you, here and now.
Both options are beautiful.
And in the end, perhaps that is the true luxury.

The work is hand-signed, delivered ready to hang, in 4x4 packaging with insured shipping included.
Good bidding
