AI-assisted summary
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 print depicts Raphael, the Ninja Turtle with a red bandana, in a dynamic and powerful combat pose with two katana drawn, one raised above the head and the other in a guard position, determined expression, brown shell and bandages on the arms, against a background of a dramatic and turbulent swirl of greens, oranges and blues with a nighttime city below, rendered with thick brushstrokes in a textured impasto style in a dramatic action-fantasy tone.
Production method: This work 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 hand by the artist with digital brushes, anatomical corrections, color layering and personal textures. The final result is a unique and original piece, where the human painting intervention completely transformed the initial generation into an authentic, expressive creation.
The Artist: "SSICK"
SSICK is an Italian artist aged 23, raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture. With the aim of giving a physical and collaborative structure to his vision, he founded SSICK LAB: a creative workshop born to experiment with the fusion between the iconic aesthetics of contemporary media and the historical visual languages.
SSICK's mission is to explore new expressive frontiers, guiding the collective toward a perfect synthesis where technological innovation constantly serves pure creativity. Through the LAB, the artist turns individual insights into collective 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 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.
