Description from the seller

Have You Seen Lisa?


Produced from layers of reverse-printed perspex housed inside a silicone iPhone case.
Each one is unique, they were sent out at random.

This comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and Imbue cleaning cloth.

Size: 75mm width x 150mm height
Material: UV printed perspex and silicone case
Edition: 100

Part of the 'Lost All Meaning' exhibition.

For Birmingham-based artist Imbue, the 'sea of iPhones' that blocked his sight of the Mona Lisa was a real disappointment when he visited the Louvre in Paris.

The experience inspired him to recreate the portrait using 100 iPhone replicas, highlighting how people can travel across the world only to view artwork through a screen.
"Everyone wants to capture moments and not miss out on the memories, but they end up missing what's happening by using their phone," he said.

The 37-year-old spent months creating the project by printing the famous portrait onto laser-cut panels and placing them inside phone cases.

Careful, tracked, and insured shipping.



Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988.
He spent his childhood in the county of Kent, in the southeast of England.
The artist recalls that he always had a love for creation, a quest fueled by his father.
Imbue, also called the new Banksy, doesn't just write his name on walls.

Provocatively and perversely, the street artist hijacks advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes so far as to introduce an ugly Snow White on the shelves of a Disney Store.
Playing with symbols, he melts a bottle of Coca Cola into the body of the Virgin Mary, giving religious and popular iconography a new meaning.

In 2008, he carelessly installed icing sugar vending machines labeled with 'cocaine' and 'heroin' on Brighton Pier, questioning the public and authorities about the drugs found on every street corner.

He has been creating artworks for over 10 years and is exhibited and collected all over the world.

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

Nicknamed 'the new Banksy', Imbue does not just write his name on walls. The street artist is provocative and malicious, hijacking advertisements or recruitment posters for the army and even going so far as to introduce a mischievous Snow White on the shelves of a Disney store.

Playing with symbols, he melts a Coca Cola bottle into the body of the Virgin Mary, giving religious and popular iconography a new meaning. In 2008, he carelessly installed icing sugar dispensers labeled ‘cocaine’ and ‘heroin’ on Brighton Pier, while questioning the public and authorities about the drugs that could be found on every street corner.
