ssick lab - Imperial Vice

GICLEE PRINT ON MUSEUM-QUALITY PREMIUM PAPER 50 x 70 CM - LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES

This work portrays a character in a dandy, decadent pose: a Stormtrooper helmet wearing an ostentatiously red suit over a blue shirt and a pink tie. With gloved black hands, the figure holds a lit cigarette in the right hand and a glass of amber liquor in the left, surrounded by smoke in a worn urban setting. The painterly style is tactile, with dense, visible brushstrokes.

Production method: Development of a preliminary visual architecture using AI generative models to define composition, tonal values, and color schemes, followed by a meticulous manual digital painting intervention aimed at perfecting anatomy, integrating customized textures, and imprinting the artist's distinctive stylistic signature.
