AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original artwork: Unique teddy bear print on paper
This original work 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 in one motion onto high-quality museum paper. 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 the oeuvre of Michiel Folkers (Gieler) and appears in both his studio and street works.
Artist: Michiel Folkers (Gieler)
Technique: Original print with acrylic ink
Material: Ultramarine blue acrylic ink on 240 g acid-free paper
Edition: Unique
Signed: Yes, on the front
Includes: Certificate of Authenticity
Shipping: Within 48 hours, carefully packaged and shipped in a sturdy tube.
Number: 095-3 (visible in embossing on the front)
Numbering 095-6 stands for:
the 95th teddy bear used;
the 3rd original print;
out of a total of 5 unique prints made with this teddy bear.
After the fourth print the ink build-up and texture of the teddy bear have changed so much that further prints no longer have the same quality or appearance. Therefore this edition is definitively closed.
About the artist
Michiel Folkers (1982), better known as Gieler, began in the late 1990s as a graffiti artist in Amsterdam. The influence of the street is still visible in his work: direct, raw and experimental. From his studio he develops unique techniques in which everyday objects are used as printing tools. His work is in private collections and is sold internationally through galleries and art platforms.
Seller's Story

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.

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.
