Description from the seller
W for Wesselmann — The Artphabet
Edition 2/10 — 60 x 60 cm
This work is part of The Artphabet, an artistic project developed by digital artist Cess, where each letter of the alphabet pays homage to major figures of contemporary art.
The piece interprets the letter W as a direct nod to Tom Wesselmann's visual universe, one of the leading exponents of Pop Art. The composition centers on voluptuous, sensual lips, iconic within his oeuvre, reinterpreted here in a three-dimensional key with a polished, contemporary aesthetic.
The intensely red lips, slightly parted, become the central element of the piece, evoking the direct, provocative, erotically charged visual language characteristic of Wesselmann. The inclusion of lit cigarettes introduces a visual narrative that references pop culture, consumption, and the representation of desire in modern society.
The treatment of the forms is clean and bold, with smooth, glossy surfaces that reinforce the advertising and objectual aesthetics typical of Pop Art. The minimalist composition against a neutral background allows the piece to stand out, drawing attention to the contrast between color, form, and meaning.
Completely created in 3D (CGI), the work has been modeled and rendered with a sculptural approach, where every element —from the contour of the lips to the texture of the cigarettes— has been carefully crafted to achieve an impactful, contemporary visual presence.
The Artphabet has achieved notable international diffusion, being published in numerous media specializing in art, design, and visual culture, establishing itself as a prominent series within contemporary digital art.
Cess is an artist specializing in digital art, CGI, and artificial intelligence, with a solid track record and collaborations with international brands such as Apple, Google, Prada, Vogue, and MTV.
The work is presented in high-quality Giclée print on polycotton canvas, ensuring faithful reproduction of color, volumes, and nuances of the original digital work.
