Description from the seller
- Limited edition of the work "Born with the Force" created by artist SKE.
- Numbering 11/100
- The artist's note: "Born with the Force. Even beneath 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 Vador mask on her head, reaches out to a blazing red star — a stylized echo of the mythical 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 repurposes 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 faithful reproduction of 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 and versatile creator 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 and expressive compositions, often with a double meaning, combine 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 upward trend. Winner of the first prize in 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 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 has also established himself in the digital art market, a major trend of the last two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations among collectors.
Icons of popular culture, bold graphics, and texture play characterize a style now essential.
SKE is undoubtedly an artist to follow, to start or enrich a collection with rising value.
Awarded & Renowned Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art
A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY
SKE's work fits into a prestigious lineage. His linework shows the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek Le Rat. His works bridge the eras: they revisit the classics, not hesitating to distort 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 akin 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 the symbolic greed of Scrooge. The influence of gaming, comics, and graphic novels is omnipresent: from the Nintendo world and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and the Marvel Super Heroes. 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 beside luxury and fashion logos. His canvases capture the aesthetic of "Hype": you see the sneaker world (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-consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured finishes reminiscent of the glossy surface of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski.
This work is ideal for enriching a collection or adding a dynamic touch to your space.
