XVALA
'Show Me the Money: Ultra Luxury Edition, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting

2020

About the Item

This large 119" x 72" mixed media painting by the artist, XVALA, is from his series 'Pandemic Collection: 8' and depicts bright colorful cartoon characters repeatedly throughout the work utilizing an iridescent oil stick and paint on a screen printed canvas. Images are layered with text, symbols, and cartoons in a vibrant palette. The Covid virus is scattered throughout. "Large and in charge. In your face and over the top. This piece makes a statement in any space for someone who has it all and isn't afraid to show it. It presents a bold statement about flex culture and those who have -or claim- the ability to escape the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The scale, financial symbolism, and overall bling of this piece communicate ongoing power in the face of the economic realities of 2020." --XVALA Exhibited during the Pandemic Paintings exhibition at the Meme Ranch August 7th, 2020. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His' Fear Google' campaign exposed the decay of privacy and No Delete used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the New World Order collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm, a symbol of the surveillance and conformity the digital state forces on users. XVALA exposes a blurring between public and private information while supporting privacy, freedom of speech, and content ownership. His Meme Ranch project addresses a theft of both freedom of information and freedom of expression by governments and tech giants. XVALA is often compared to Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, and Richard Prince. His street art offers satirical commentary on other artists, including Banksy.

  • 'Rona Wars: Cyberpunk Edition, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting
    By XVALA
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    This 61" x 44" mixed media painting by the artist XVALA is from his series 'Pandemic Collection: 6.' The painting was created with iridescent oil stick and spray paint on a screen print of a Star Wars poster. The abstracted "Basquiat-inspired" work depicts a silver robot with red eyes and large white teeth on a purple and blue background with the text 'cyber punk' in red at the bottom of the painting. 2020 twisted human reality in a number of ways no one could ever have predicted. XVALA pays tribute to this by melding the original Star Wars movie poster with the unexpected weirdness of the 21st Century. By combining a classic sci-fi villain with a modern symbol of literal Cyberpunk, XVALA shows the COVID-19 virus aimed straight toward the earth with a mission to destroy it. Exhibited during the Pandemic Paintings exhibition at the Meme Ranch August 7th, 2020. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age.
