Chanel XL Blue Fire Extinguisher by XTC.

Numbered out of 12 and signed on the back, Certificate (COA) provided.
Careful and tracked shipping.
Born in 1978 in the heart of France, XTC has shaped its artistic universe through its interest in Design, Pop Art, and more recently Street Art. This visual research turned into a passion, which had to materialize.
XTC defines itself as a self-taught visual artist, part of the Pop Art movement, through the diversion of contemporary consumer goods.
His creativity is expressed through the audacious staging of icons of popular consumption (such as McDonald's, Malabar, Chupa), which he brings into collision with the world of luxury (including Chanel, Hermes, Veuve Clicquot champagne or even Caviar) and Street Art, blurring a little more the borders, already tenuous, between these worlds.
He expresses his art through sculpture, mixing paint with all kinds of resins, plastics, and sometimes minerals.
He is inspired among others by Banksy, Keith Haring, Orlinski, Andy Warhol, Obey and advertising and addictions in general.
Any defects or imperfections are an integral part of the work: it is an empty recovery (gas) extinguisher that may have appearance defects visible through the paint. (It is of course forbidden to sell a full extinguisher without the standard labels or the pin)
