Description from the seller
GICLÉE PRINT ON MUSEUM-QUALITY PREMIUM PAPER A3, 29.7 x 42 cm, 300 g/m², IN A LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES.
This vibrant art print captures the mystical essence of a primordial forest, where a series of stylized figures evoking traditional African masks emerge from dense foliage. The work is characterized by bold use of color and decisive, textural brushstrokes that mimic oil painting, giving visual depth despite the smooth surface of the paper.
The interaction between the lush greens of the jungle and the warm tones of the faces (reds, ochres, and whites) creates a magnetic contrast. Each figure bears an enigmatic and solemn expression, evoking a sense of spiritual protection and a deep connection with the wild. It is a piece that unites classic tribal aesthetics with contemporary dynamism, perfect for someone seeking a work with character and strong visual impact.
Production method: The process begins with a phase of conceptual exploration assisted by digital tools for visual brainstorming, culminating in a fully manual painting draft. The artist then intervenes meticulously to define anatomy, apply proprietary textures, and consolidate their distinctive style.
The Artist: "SSICK"
SSICK is an Italian artist, 23 years old, raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture. With the aim of giving a physical and collaborative structure to their vision, they founded SSICK LAB: a creative workshop born to experiment with the fusion between iconic aesthetics of contemporary media and historic visual languages.
SSICK’s mission is to explore new expressive frontiers, guiding the collective toward a perfect synthesis where technological innovation is constantly at the service of pure creativity. Through the LAB, the artist transforms individual insights into coral works, challenging the boundaries of modern art.
Key points of SSICK’s vision:
Generational Roots: Class of 2003, carrying the visual heritage of digital natives.
Experimentation: A constant bridge between the history of classical art and new media.
Creative Leadership: The collective as an extension of their artistic language

Seller's Story
SSICK LAB is a contemporary artistic collective founded in 2025 by the Italian artist SSICK (born 2003), one of the youngest and most irreverent rising talents on the Italian scene. Born with the aim of exploring the boundary between technology, manual craft, and cultural provocation, SSICK LAB stands out for producing unique, limited art prints, created both with traditional techniques and through the deliberate use of artificial intelligence. Each print becomes an hybrid of digital error, aesthetic glitch, and human vision, reflecting the era we live in: between algorithmic chaos and the search for authenticity.
At the center of the collective is the figure of SSICK, who simultaneously pursues a more intimate and radical pictorial research. His manual paintings — oil, acrylic, and mixed media on canvas — move between conceptual art and abstraction with a strong pop imprint. His works reinterpret icons of mass culture (from ’90s cartoon characters to symbols of contemporary capitalism) to overturn their meaning and transform them into powerful anti-system messages. Irony, social critique, generational nihilism, and melancholy merge in compositions full of emotional tension and color.
A great passion of SSICK is also the world of Art Toys. He is, in fact, the creator of SSICKY, the collective’s iconic character: a grotesque, disturbed, and irresistibly collectible figure that represents the distorted alter ego of the artist and his generation. SSICKY appears in a limited sculptural version as well as inside many pictorial works and prints.
SSICK LAB is not only a production collective: it is a think tank, an attitude, a space where painting tradition, technology, and toy culture clash to generate something new, uncomfortable, and authentic.
