Vanessa Fodera (1981) - Never without my Rolex

Vanessa Fodera – « Never Without My Rolex » – No. 14 – Playmobil XXL 65 cm – Pop Art

Description

« Never Without My Rolex » – No. 14

Contemporary decorative creation by the French artist Vanessa Fodera, founder of ARTOYS DESIGNER, made from a new 65 cm Playmobil XXL base.

For this creation, Vanessa Fodera uses the Playmobil XXL figure as the support for an artistic composition that blends Pop Art, urban culture, horology, money, and contemporary symbols of social success.

The artist personally designs the visual universe of the work and carries out in her workshop the application of the different visual and decorative elements as well as assembly and finishing.

The graphic compositions are conceived by the artist and then produced as UV-DTF prints and applied by her hand to the sculpture.

The character bears the message:

« Never Without My Rolex »

This work humorously reinterprets the codes of luxury and material success. It questions our relationship with time, money, desire, social status, and objects that have become symbols of recognition.

The original figure is thus integrated into a new visual composition imagined by Vanessa Fodera.
