AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Signed/numbered artwork, provided with a certificate of authenticity and a unique holographic number.
- Description: 3mm-thick aluminum billet sculpture, satin varnish finish anti-scratch/UV
- The folded bill stands upright and gives the impression of "floating" — superb effect guaranteed
- Direct from the studio, never exhibited, artwork in perfect condition!
- Edition 15/30.
- since the folds are handmade, you may notice a slight difference from the presentation photo; this is inherent to the artisanal fabrication process and makes your copy unique.

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

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

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s profile has risen noticeably. He is the winner of the first prize at the Urban Master contest (2023), then named 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 has 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. In parallel, SKE is also making a mark in the digital artworks market, a major trend in the last two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations to collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics, and texture plays characterize a style now considered essential.

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

Awarded & Noted Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art

A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE’s work sits in a prestigious lineage. His line carries 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 shying away from reinterpreting Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai’s The Great Wave, or Picasso’s deconstructed forms to confront a modern urban aesthetic close to Mr. Brainwash or Kaws.

POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing from the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons from our childhood. He stages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and Scrooge McDuck’s symbolic greed. The influence of gaming, comics, and graphic novels is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and along with Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami.

LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style sometimes reminiscent of 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 aesthetics of “Hype”: the sneaker universe (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 to mention mass-consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It’s vibrant art with textured finishes that sometimes evoke the glossy finish of Jeff Koons or the facets of a Richard Orlinski.

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