AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Signed/numbered work, supplied with a certificate of authenticity and a unique holographic number.
- Description: Aluminium Billet sculpture 3mm thick, satin finish varnish anti-scratch/UV
- The folded bill stands upright and gives the impression of “floating” a superb guaranteed effect
- Directly from the workshop, never exhibited, artwork in perfect condition!
- Edition 16/30.
- because the folds are done by hand you may notice a slight difference with the presentation photo; this is inherent to the artisanal manufacturing process and makes your copy unique.

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

He constantly explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stencil, graffiti, urban installations and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with dual readings, blend the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art.

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s market value has risen notably. 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. At the same time, SKE is also making a mark in the digital artworks market, a major trend of the past two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations to collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture play characterize a style that is now essential.

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

Listed & Awarded Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art

A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE’s work sits in a prestigious lineage. His stroke 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 hesitating to reinterpret the Mona Lisa by Da Vinci, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai’s The Great Wave, or Picasso’s deconstructed forms to juxtapose them with a modern urban aesthetic close to Mr Brainwash or Kaws.

POP CULTURE & NOSTalgia Drawing from the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons of our childhood. He stages Disney’s universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and the symbolic greed of Scrooge McDuck. The influence of gaming, comics and graphic novels is omnipresent: from Nintendo’s universe and the legendary Game Boy to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and the Marvel superhero stable. 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 aesthetic of "Hype": you’ll encounter sneaker culture (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and high fashion (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not forgetting mass consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured surfaces reminiscent of the glossy finish of Jeff Koons or the facets of a Richard Orlinski.

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