AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- Work "King of Time"
- Number 03/30
- Work signed/numbered by the artist SKE delivered with certificate of authenticity.
- HAND-FINISHED « Sculpture made for commercial purposes, hand-retouched by the artist SKE »
- Description: Metal and glass clock, perfectly functional with date display, ultra-quiet mechanism. Luminous display in the dark. Wall mount. Diameter 34 cm.
When Mickey wears the crown, time stops being wise.
King of Time places one of the most universal figures of popular culture at the center of a universe where luxury watchmaking, street art and signs of success cross paths. A crown above the head, banknotes, gold coins, monograms, a car star and a GMT-inspired dial compose a deliberately excessive, almost theatrical setting. The contrast is the essence of the piece: the childhood icon is propelled into an adult imagination made of desire, status and collectors’ passion. Around him, the background explodes with colors, tags and graphic fragments. The blue and red bezel immediately imposes a horological reading, while the dial rejects sobriety. Here, luxury is deflected, mixed, and jolted by the energy of pop art and street art.
SKE thus transforms a clock into a true wall-mounted collectible object: a piece readable from afar as a familiar symbol and, up close, revealing an accumulation of details and winks. Made in aluminum, King of Time measures 34 cm in diameter and actually functions as a clock. This version is produced in a limited edition of 30 copies.
More than a object that tells the time, King of Time radiates an attitude: nostalgia, pop culture, diverted luxury and urban energy all in one piece.
- ARTIST BIO:
SKE is a self-taught French artist and all-rounder who grew up in the 80s/90s culture, inspiring a large majority of his artistic works.
He continually explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stenciling, graffiti, urban installations and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with double readings, blend the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art.
After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s market value has risen noticeably. Winner of the first prize at the Urban Master contest (2023), then elected Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025).
SKE was selected as "Artist of the Month" by the Opulence gallery in October, and he has also benefited from a feature in an American art magazine confirming his international recognition.
His works have already been exhibited in major venues in Europe, the United States and Asia, consolidating his place on the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE also makes his mark in the digital artworks market, a major trend of the past two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations to collectors.
Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture play characterize a now-unmissable style.
SKE is undeniably an artist to follow, to start or enrich a collection with rising value.
Freshly Ranked & Awarded Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art
AN UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE’s work fits into a prestigious lineage. His line carries the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating Banksy’s subversion or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works bridge the ages: they revisit classics, not hesitating to rework Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai’s Great Wave or Picasso’s deconstructed forms to confront them with a modern urban aesthetic akin to Mr Brainwash or Kaws.
POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing on the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons of our childhood. He stages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and the symbolic greed of Scrooge McDuck. The influence of gaming, comics and superheroes is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the mythical Gameboy, to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), via Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami.
LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style reminiscent at times of Alec Monopoly, the artist plays with codes of success and materialism. The Dollar symbol sits beside logos of luxury and fashion giants. His canvases capture the “Hype” aesthetic: sneaker culture (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and haute couture (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not to forget mass-consumption icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured finishes evoking the glossy surface of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski.
This work is ideal to enrich a collection or add a dynamic touch to your interior.
