AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original artwork: Unique teddy bear print on canvas
This original piece is made with a second-hand teddy bear, sourced from flea markets or rescued from the waste stream. The teddy bear is dipped in deep dark red acrylic ink and then pressed onto high-quality museum paper in one motion. Each print is unique; due to the printing technique and the deformation of the bear, the same image can never be reproduced.
The teddy bear is a recurring motif within Michiel Folkers (Gieler)’s body of work and appears in both his studio and street art.
Artist: Michiel Folkers (Gieler)
Technique: Original print with acrylic ink
Material: Merlot red and warm rose acrylic ink on professional canvas

Signed: Yes, on the reverse
Includes: Certificate of Authenticity
Excludes: frame and stretching (you stretch it yourself)
Shipping: Within 48 hours, carefully packaged and shipped in a sturdy tube.

Numbering 119-2-2 stands for:
- the 119th teddy bear used;
- the 2nd original print;

After the second print, the ink build-up and the texture of the teddy bear have changed to such an extent that further prints would not have the same quality or appearance. Therefore, this edition is definitively closed.
About the artist
Michiel Folkers (born 1982), better known as Gieler, began in the late 1990s as a graffiti artist in Amsterdam. The street influence is still visible in his work: direct, raw, and experimental.

His work is in private collections and is sold internationally through galleries and art platforms.
Seller's Story
Michiel Folkers is a mixed media artist living and working in Amsterdam. Selling his work all over the world and exposing in galleries from Zurich to New York. He is best known for his layered artworks, large canvasses, in which he blend colorful streetposters together with spray paint and acrylics. He is pulling and collecting these streetposters himself for every individual artwork and is using this as base for all his pieces. On top of these layered backgrounds he paints, screenprint or paste recognizable themes for example comics or celebs (from now or the past) but also large abstract paintings. Always important the background doesn't get lost but entangles with the subject. Every piece is unique and looks like a brick of wall that you want to hang in your home.
