Emergency Luxury - CQFD - Artiste professionnel

Artist: CQFD

Technique: Sculpture on a fire extinguisher, lacquered painting, acrylic projections (dripping)

Style: Pop Art / Neo-Street Art

Presentation of the work:
This bold piece distorts a everyday object — a fire extinguisher — to transform it into a totem of contemporary culture. Coated in a deep, glossy black, the piece bears the iconic Chanel lettering, a universal symbol of elegance and prestige.
The sleek luxury aesthetic is here disrupted by white paint splatters in an action painting style. These splashes, dynamic and unpredictable, break the rigidity of haute couture codes, bringing a raw energy and a street touch to the whole.

The work explores the paradox between necessity (the extinguisher that saves) and desire (the luxury object). By fusing these two worlds, the artist poses an ironic question: is luxury the ultimate remedy to the fires of our modern society? Or is it the desire to possess that becomes a vital urgency?

Chromatic contrast: The classic black-and-white duel pays homage to Coco Chanel’s visual identity while ensuring an immediate visual impact.

The material: The lacquered finish plays with light, highlighting the industrial curves of the object, while the original pressure gauge is kept as a reminder of the piece’s initial function, creating a fascinating offset.

A true object of desirability, this sculpture is ideal for a modern interior or a collection focused on object détournement (Readymade). It captures the essence of an era where the boundaries between street art, mass consumption, and luxury no longer exist.
