AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent sculpture by Imbue, Information Warfare.
Sold Out, only 500 copies

Never exposed
Hand-cast resin
Direct provenance from the artist's workshop.

Careful, tracked, and insured shipment.

Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988. He spent his childhood in Kent County, in the southeast of England. The artist recalls always having a penchant for creation, a pursuit fueled by his father.
Nicknamed the new Banksy, Imbue is not just writing his name on walls. Provocative and perverse, the street artist distorts advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes so far as to introduce a wicked 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, diverting religious and popular iconography to give it a new meaning. In 2008, he installed powdered sugar dispensers labeled 'cocaine' and 'heroin' on the Brighton pier, unconcerned, questioning the public and authorities about the drugs found on every street corner.
Source: Tracks ARTE TV
He has been creating works of art for over 10 years and is exhibited and collected worldwide.

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.

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.
