AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ONLY TWO COPIES EXIST
Technique: Hybrid digital print on premium 170 g/m² paper
Dimensions: [XL] 50 x 70 cm
Year: 2026
Edition: Limited edition – Only 2 copies exist
Condition: New [never displayed]
Artist: SSICKLAB Collective
Signature: Digital signature of the SSICKLAB collective applied bottom left
Certificate of authenticity: digital, sent upon buyer's request
Description:
The print depicts in close-up a vintage tin toy astronaut, characterized by the smiling, detailed face visible through the transparent visor of the spacesuit. The textured brushwork and the muted tones of the blue-tinged aviation background and orange confer the figure a distinctly retro-futurist charm.
Creative process:
The work is the result of a creative synergy within the SSICKLAB collective. The process stems from a hybrid, collaborative approach: an initial sketch is developed using sophisticated AI tools, then reworked, interpreted and finalized by multiple hands from the collective through careful painting and digital finishing on an iPad.
Limited Edition:
This work is produced in an extremely restricted edition of only 2 specimens worldwide, making each piece a rare collectible piece.
Packaging and Shipping:
The work is shipped rolled inside protective rigid tubes to ensure maximum safety during transport.
Shipping note: As the collective is an international project with members residing in Italy and Germany, the shipment of the work will come directly from the studio of the in‑house member who oversaw the final production (from Italy or Germany).
The Collective – SSICKLAB:
SSICKLAB is an independent artistic collective founded in 2023 by the young Italian artist SSICK (born 2003). Born as a meeting point between street art, urban culture and new technologies, the collective brings together artists and creatives active in Italy and Germany.
SSICKLAB’s work stands out for its ongoing search for balance between digital innovation and manual expressiveness, ranging from digital painting on iPad to the creation of stencils and street art interventions. The technology is perceived by the collective not as an end in itself, but as a tool expanded to serve shared creativity and visual experimentation.
Seller's Story
SSICK LAB is an Italian creative collective formed by young artists aged 23 to 24, united by a passion for contemporary digital art and pop culture.
We use cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence technologies to generate highly detailed drafts and concepts, which are then interpreted and fully hand-colored through professional software. This hybrid approach lets us combine the creative power of AI with the warmth and uniqueness of the manual artistic touch.
Our production is deeply inspired by pop culture, manga, cinema, and especially video games, reinterpreted through styles that are very diverse from one another.
Our main artists:
SSICK
A versatile and multifaceted artist, capable of moving naturally between different styles. He is the creator of SSICKY Toy Art, a line of playful and iconic character designs that often populate his works, giving him an instantly recognizable signature.
NOVA
Specializes in a style strongly influenced by Japanese anime and manga culture. Her works convey dynamism, expressiveness, and that characteristic contemporary Japanese aesthetic.
RAIDEN
Inspired by the legendary video game Mortal Kombat, he masterfully fuses the Neo Ukiyo-e Japanese style with elements of Western pop culture, creating powerful, cinematic works with strong visual impact.
Each SSICK LAB artwork is the result of a unique creative process: stylistic research, experimentation, and meticulous care for color and details. Our illustrations are designed for those who love digital contemporary art, limited edition collectors, street art enthusiasts, manga, video games, and toy design.
