AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent sculpture by Imbue, Bleeding Me Dry.
Artist Proof
Sold Out
Never displayed new.

Hand-cast resin
Packed in an evidence bag.

Careful, tracked, and insured shipment.


Nicknamed 'the new Banksy', Imbue does not just write his name on walls. Provocative and mischievous, the street artist hijacks advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes as far as introducing a naughty Snow White into the shelves of a Disney store.

Playing with symbols, he melts a Coca Cola bottle into the body of the Virgin Mary, reappropriating religious and popular iconographies to give them a new meaning. In 2008, he installed powdered sugar dispensers labeled 'cocaine' and 'heroin' on the Brighton pier, without being disturbed, questioning the public and authorities about the drugs found on every street corner.

Imbue was inspired by artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey Obey, JonOne, KAWS, Seen, Banksy, JR, M. chat, Fake, Parra, Pantone, Arsham, Vhils, Saraiva, Basquiat, Haring, Koons, Cattelan, Murakami, Stik, Brusk, Invader, Dface.
