Description from the seller
GICLEE 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 depicts a scene of community gardening with anthropomorphic robots. Rendered in a rich post-impressionist painterly style with visible brushstrokes, the image features several small robots. In the foreground, two main robots (one with a rainbow-colored head and the other light blue) use handheld hoes to work the dark soil. Four other small robots (blue, orange, purple, and light green) are scattered further back along a dirt path. In the background there is a dense hedge with pink and white flowers and lush vegetation, all bathed in sun-slit light. The atmosphere is cheerful and productive, blending nature with friendly technology.
Production method: This work was created starting from a draft generated with artistic artificial intelligence, used exclusively as a compositional basis and source of inspiration. The image was subsequently imported into digital painting software and entirely reworked by the artist by hand with digital brushes, anatomical corrections, color layerings, and personal textures. The final result is a unique and original piece, where the human painterly intervention fully transformed the initial generation into an authentic and expressive creation.
The Artist: "SSICK"
SSICK is a 23-year-old Italian artist, raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture. In order to give a physical and collaborative structure to his vision, he founded SSICK LAB: a creative workshop born to experiment with the fusion of iconic aesthetics of contemporary media and historical visual languages.
The mission of SSICK 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: Born in 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 his own 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.
