Imbue (1988) - Glock

Magnificent sculpture of Imbue, chocolate Glock. Very limited edition of 54 copies only. Sold Out New, never displayed. Hand-cast resin with foil packaging in a custom tray and screen-printed wooden box with sliding lid marked with the Imbue logo. This full-size "chocolate gun" is attached inside the box as a complete piece and cannot be removed. The piece can be displayed standing or hung on a wall using 2 mounting rings. Careful, tracked and insured shipping Nicknamed "the new Banksy", Imbue doesn't just write his name on walls. Provocative and evil-minded, the street artist hijacks advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes so far as to introduce a naughty Snow White onto the shelves of a Disney store. Playing with symbols, he melts a Coca Cola bottle into the body of the Virgin Mary, diverting religious and popular iconographies to give them new meaning. In 2008, he installed powdered sugar dispensers displaying “cocaine” and “heroin” on Brighton Pier, without being worried, questioning the public and the authorities about the drugs found on every street corner.
