AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Limited edition of the artwork "Born with the Force" created by the artist SKE.
- Numbering 14/100
- The artist's note: "Born with the Force. Even under Vader's helmet, hope whispers."
"Born with the Force" blends the dark codes of the Empire with the pure innocence of childhood. A little girl, with a Dark Vador mask on her head, reaches out toward a blazing red star — a stylized echo of the mythical Death Star. Around her, war machines advance, but she alone seems to still believe in the power of dreams.
Between engaged street art and homage to the Star Wars universe, this work subverts symbols of power to reveal a subtle truth: even at the heart of chaos, light persists in those who have not yet forgotten how to hope.
- Certificate of authenticity included.
- Publisher: Atelier MONTMARTRE FineArt.
- High-quality print on 300 g/m2 art paper for faithful color rendition and faithful reproduction of the original.
- Format A3 (42x29.7 cm), very easy to frame.
- Careful and secure shipping (silk paper + tube + cardboard)
- BIO ARTIST:
SKE is a self-taught, versatile French artist who grew up in the 80s/90s culture, inspiring a large portion of his artistic works.

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

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE's market value has seen a notable rise. He was the winner of the first prize at the Urban Master contest (2023), then elected Vision of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025).
SKE was selected as the "Artist of the Month" by the Opulence gallery in October, and he also benefited from a feature in an American art magazine confirming his international recognition.

His works have already been exhibited in major venues across Europe, the United States, and Asia, solidifying his place in the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE has also established himself in the digital art market, a major trend of the last two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations among collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture plays characterize a style now incontournable.

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

Awarded & Recognized Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art

AN UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE's work sits in a prestigious lineage. His linework carries the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while embracing the subversion of Banksy or pioneer Blek le Rat. His works build a bridge between eras: they reinvent the classics, not hesitating to subvert 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 from 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 McDuck. 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), via Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami.

LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style sometimes 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’ll encounter sneaker culture (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and haute couture (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also integrates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not to forget mass consumption icons like Coca-Cola. It’s vibrant art, with textured finishes evoking the glazed surface of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski.

This work is ideal for enriching a collection or adding a dynamic touch to your interior.
