Exceptional sculpture by XTC Artist:
Large Mc Caviar cone Intense Red and 24K GOLD and its turquoise straw.
It measures 30cm high on a plexiglass base engraved with the XTC logo of 33 x 20cm and 15mm thick. the underside of the base is covered with black velvet.
In molded resin, adorned with 24 carat gold leaf (everything gilded is pure gold leaf including the logo), painted in intense red. Protected under a varnish as shiny as it is resistant, and of course filled with caviar of my manufacture with its turquoise straw.
The sculpture weighs approximately 2.5 kg.
This model will be made in only 4 copies and 2 artist's proofs. it is the number 1/4 which is on sale.
Probably XTC's most iconic artwork to date, in its original color.
Misappropriation of a McDonald's cone, a future luxurious dish in a fastfood version? Not so impossible!

Careful and tracked shipping.
All orders paid before Monday 19 at noon will be dispatched the same day (transit delays are to be expected due to Christmas, so I cannot guarantee delivery before December 24)
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.
All possible defects or imperfections are an integral part of the work. 67595177
