Edition AP 3/3 of 8
This work tensions the bidimensional and tridimensional through the physical intervention of the Control device, which breaks the surface and releases a real chromatic flow. The pop pattern of smiles, symbol of lightness and positivity, is thus subjected to pressure and destabilized, transforming the smile into an ambiguous and unstable signal.
The encounter between image, matter, and object generates a visual short circuit between irony and unease, where color seduces while the concept questions: is happiness truly spontaneous, or is it a regulated flow?
INSURED SHIPMENT!
The package is carefully packed,
The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand), in order to ensure a safer shipment.
The canvas is mounted on a wooden frame, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core, frame not included.
The edition number will be assigned randomly based on availability at the time of shipment.
The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons like Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier and Pokémon. A talent recognized not only for its creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.
Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a craftsman of resin sculptures. There he felt an ever stronger need to find himself and unleash his creativity.
His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art paintings and sculptures, pop art, contemporary art.
"It's never easy to classify one's art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits modern times: impactful and memorable."
Seller's Story
Communicating through a work goes beyond the message: it is the very heart of art.
My works move between social messages and pure pop, often with a touch of irony. I try to reinterpret what surrounds me with a contemporary, impactful, and memorable visual language.
Beauty, for me, is a bridge between people. In my works I seek to capture that sense of connection and recognition that comes from the harmony hidden in forms.
Resin is today the material I prefer: it allows me to experiment, to fuse design and sculpture, to explore new aesthetic possibilities. This ongoing research pushes me beyond my comfort zone, keeping creative curiosity alive.
I create to give shape to an inner impulse, to make visible what usually remains invisible: time, work, and experience that give meaning to our journey.
