With Goldorak – Anatomy of a Myth, SKE offers a unique artistic reading of the absolute icon of Japanese animation. This hybrid creation draws on both animation design boards, artists’ study notebooks, and the raw energy of contemporary street art.

On a textured background reminiscent of a time-worn studio sheet — coffee stains, technical annotations and spontaneous strokes — the artist deconstructs and reassembles the mythical figure of Goldorak. The robot’s monumental face dominates the composition like a sacred relic of pop culture, while around it appear different interpretations: dynamic sketches of the mecha in action, proportion studies, diagrams of the saucer mode and revisited mechanical visions.

The nerve lines, red drips and handwritten annotations give the work an almost archaeological dimension: as if one were observing the notes of a creator imagining the most legendary robot of Japanese animation.

SKE transforms Goldorak here into an object of artistic study, between nostalgic homage, manga culture and a contemporary look at pop icons.

A work that fuses anime design, urban art, pop art and workshop aesthetics.

Why bid?

Because this work concentrates:

- An original artistic re-reading of the Goldorak universe, between creation notebook and contemporary artwork.
- A unique aesthetic mixing study sketches, graffiti and pop art.
- A vibrant tribute to a major icon of manga culture and Japanese animation.
- The SKE signature, known for its modern interpretations of pop myths.
- And above all absolute ultra- rarity: only 10 copies in the world.

An piece ideal to enrich a contemporary art collection inspired by pop culture, assert a taste for strong graphic works, or invest in a singular creation mixing nostalgia, design and urban art.

- ARTIST BIO:
SKE is a French self-taught artist and all-around creator who grew up with 80s/90s culture, inspiring a large portion of his works.

He continually explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stencils, graffiti, urban installations and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with double meaning, blend the raw energy of street art and the visual impact of pop art.

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s value has risen noticeably. Winner of the first prize in the Urban Master contest (2023), then named Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025).
SKE was selected as "Artist of the Month" by the Opulence gallery in October; he also benefited from a feature in an American art magazine confirming his international recognition.

His works have already been exhibited in major venues in Europe, the United States and Asia, reinforcing his place on the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE also makes his mark in the digital art market, a major trend in the last two years, increasing the appeal of his creations among collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture work characterize a style now indispensable.

SKE is undoubtedly an artist to watch, to start or enrich a collection with rising value.

Awarded Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art

A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE’s work sits in a prestigious lineage. His line shows the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works create a bridge between eras: they revisit the classics, not hesitating to twist Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai’s The Great Wave, or Picasso’s deconstructed forms to confront them with a modern urban aesthetic close to Mr Brainwash or Kaws.

POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing on the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons of our childhood. He stages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and the symbolic greed of Scrooge. The influence of gaming, comics and graphic novels is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokemon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and the Marvel Super Heroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami.

LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style periodically reminiscent of Alec Monopoly, the artist plays with codes of success and materialism. The Dollar symbol sits beside luxury and fashion logos. His canvases capture the “Hype” aesthetic: you encounter sneaker culture (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and haute couture (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not forgetting mass-consumption icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured finishes sometimes reminiscent of Jeff Koons’ glossy surfaces or the facets of Richard Orlinski.

This work is ideal to enrich a collection or bring a dynamic touch to your interior.
