AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Giclée print on premium museum-quality paper, A3, 29.7 x 42 cm, 300 g/m², in a limited edition of only 5 copies.
This art print features a powerful full-figure portrait of the Mobile Suit RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, rendered in a painterly, tactile style that simulates oil painting brushstrokes. The robot stands on a desert, rocky terrain, showing clear signs of wear and battle damage (scratches and dirt) on its dark gray and white armor. It grips its ray rifle in the right hand and holds the shield on the left shoulder. The background is dominated by a dramatic sunset sky with heavy cloud formations painted with broad patches of brick red and dark orange, standing out against the silhouettes of mountains on the horizon. The work captures the majesty and history of a battle veteran.
production method: This piece was created starting from a draft generated with artistic artificial intelligence, used exclusively as a compositional base and source of inspiration. Subsequently the image was imported into digital painting software and entirely reworked by the artist with digital brushes, anatomical corrections, color layering, and personal textures. The final result is a unique and original work, where the human painting intervention completely transformed the initial generation into an authentic and expressive creation.

The mission of SSICK is to explore new expressive frontiers, guiding the collective toward a perfect syntheses where technological innovation is constantly at the service of pure creativity. Through LAB, the artist transforms individual insights into collective works, challenging the boundaries of modern art.

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.
