Limited Edition 1/8
This artwork plays with perception between two and three dimensions, transforming a static image into a lively experience. The colored liquid flowing down the canvas blends perfectly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color is truly pouring out of the canvas.
The physical insertion of the valve and the suspended drop breaks the fourth wall of art, leading the viewer to question what is real and what is not. The effect is ironic and provocative: is it possible to control the creative flow? Can inspiration be turned on and off like a tap?
The work combines pop aesthetics, ready-made, and a conceptual spirit, with a direct yet layered visual language. An intelligent mix of color, material, and concept that captures the eye and leaves room for reflection.
Insured shipping!
The package is carefully packed.
The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet by hand, to ensure a safer shipment.
The fabric is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame, the tap is made of iron, the drop is resin with an iron core, frame not included.
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. Recognized not only for his creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.
Born in 1992 in Macerata, in the Marche region, the Italian artist pursued a career that, through studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There, he developed a growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity.
His works are sold all over the world, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and is a must-have among collectors of paintings and sculptures in street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"It's never easy to classify one's art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
