AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Work provided with a certificate of authenticity, signed and numbered by the artist SKE.
Number 01/50
Addicted to style. Overdosed by brands.
Symbol of power, elegance, desire... and sometimes dependence.
Behind the veneer of luxury, 'Cocaine Bullet' questions the blurred boundary between admiration and addiction.
This series of four works, inspired both by the codes of luxury and the culture of excess, ironically denounces our thirst for possession and recognition.
Each piece is an illusion cartridge: shiny, attractive, but empty of meaning once consumed.
Because deep down, the real overdose is that of appearances.

Artist Bio:
SKE is a self-taught French artist and versatile creator who grew up immersed in the culture of the 80s and 90s, inspiring a large majority of his artistic works.

He constantly explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stenciling, graffiti, urban installations, and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with double meanings, blend the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art.

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE's reputation is experiencing a remarkable rise. Winner of the first prize at the Urban Master competition (2023), then named Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025), selected as 'Artist of the Month' by the Opulence gallery in October, he 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, cementing his position on the contemporary art scene. At the same time, SKE is also establishing himself in the digital artwork market, a major trend of the last two years, reinforcing the appeal of his creations among collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics, and a play of textures characterize a style that is now essential.

SKE is undoubtedly an artist to follow, to initiate or enrich a collection with a rising star.
