AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Stunning wall sculpture of contemporary art and unique Pop-Street Art: “Don Julio Crashed” by the artist “This Is Not A Toy”.

This original creation is a bold artistic exploration that freezes a moment of destruction and beauty. The piece, titled “Don Julio Crashed,” starts from a real bottle of Don Julio Tequila, renowned for its polished aesthetics and tasting qualities.

The artist has “burst” the bottle, scattering its fragments before freezing them for eternity in a thick pour of high-quality epoxy resin. The glossy resin traps every shard, every piece of the label and the broken glass, creating a relief effect and a fascinating depth under the effect of light. It is mounted on a sturdy MDF panel.

The work is enhanced by a USA-style frame (american crating) that gives it a professional, high-end finish while giving the impression that the resin floats within the frame. It is a striking piece, blending the transparency of resin with the controlled chaos of broken glass.

About the artist:

This Is Not A Toy is an emerging artist on the European Pop-Street Art scene. Based in the Lyon region, their work explores the dynamics between everyday consumer objects, Pop culture, and the concept of brand fetishization. Drawing on Pop Art’s taste for subverting popular symbols and on Street Art’s quick, impactful techniques, This Is Not A Toy questions the value and longevity of objects.

Their works blur the boundaries between art, decoration, and marketing product, forcing the viewer to reevaluate their relationship to possession. Resin is one of their preferred materials, allowing them to “freeze” the ephemeral and transform a daily object into a contemporary relic.

Shipping information:

The work will be professionally protected (reinforced packaging, bubble wrap, padding) and shipped via a specialized carrier with full insurance to ensure safe delivery.

Note: The shipping fees include professional packaging costs.
