Description from the seller
Unique piece direct from the artist Imbue's workshop, artist's proof (Artist Proof), never commercialized in this print color.
New, never exhibited
PCB 50 Pounds, silver-printed note of £50 on a printed circuit board.
Rare work in artist's proof.
Careful shipping, tracked and insured
Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988. He spent his childhood in Kent, southeast England. The artist recalls always having a penchant for creation, a pursuit fueled by his father.
Surnamed the new Banksy, Imbue not only writes his name on walls. Provocative and twisted, the street artist distorts advertisements or recruitment posters for the army and even goes so far as introducing a vile Snow White on the shelves of a Disney Store.
Playing with symbols, he melts a Coca-Cola bottle into the body of the Virgin Mary, repurposing religious and pop iconography to give it new meaning. In 2008, he installed powder sugar dispensers displaying "cocaine" and "heroin" on the Brighton Pier, unconcerned, questioning the public and the authorities about drugs found on every street corner.

He has been creating art for over 10 years and has exhibited and collected worldwide.
Imbue has been inspired by artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey Obey, JonOne, KAWS, Seen, Banksy, JR, M. chat, Fake, Parra, Pantone, Arsham, Vhils, Saraiva, Basquiat, Haring, Koons, Cattelan, Murakami, Stik, Brusk, Invader, Dface.
