About the Item
Beto Gatti – “Fucking Ego” (2020)
Bronze
Edition of 5 + 3 AP
24 x 25.5 x 24 cm 9 x 10 x 9 in
Beto Gatti’s “Fucking Ego” is a thought-provoking bronze sculpture that challenges contemporary identity, perception, and self-awareness. A striking blend of classical memento mori symbolism and modern cultural iconography, this piece encapsulates Gatti’s exploration of the paradoxes of self-image, technology, and societal constructs.
This limited-edition bronze sculpture (5 + 3 AP) stands as a rare and bold statement. Its form—a meticulously detailed skull adorned with oversized, instantly recognizable ears—creates a dialogue between nostalgia, consumer culture, and existential reflection. The engraving "Fucking Ego" atop the skull adds a raw, introspective element, encouraging viewers to question the nature of self-importance in the digital age.
Gatti’s work carries a distinct conceptual weight, bridging pop culture with deeper psychological and philosophical discourse. The patinated bronze finish enhances its sculptural presence, giving it a timeless, enduring quality. With only a handful of editions available, this piece is not just an artwork but a rare collectible, embodying the artist’s sharp critique of modernity.
This sculpture is in pristine condition, cast in bronze with a rich, warm patina that accentuates its texture and depth. The finish adds to its tactile quality, while the precise detailing of the skull and bold ear-like structures create a compelling three-dimensional effect.
Beto Gatti, known for his evocative sculptures, frequently delves into themes of time, technology, and identity. In “Fucking Ego,” he confronts the omnipresent digital self, questioning the ways in which virtual reality shapes human experience. The work suggests a tension between vanity and impermanence, illusion and authenticity—a reflection on the complexities of the modern condition.
For those seeking a bold, intellectually engaging statement piece, “Fucking Ego” is an invitation to reflection, conversation, and artistic appreciation.
Beto Gatti is a Brazilian artist who lives in Rio de Janeiro. His art is paradoxical, as it expresses the externalization of his introspection.
His sculptures convey restlessness, it leads us to daydreams and reflections. With abundant references to time and technology, he makes intersections between these two elements that permeate life in society, while invoking tomorrow in issues that agitate him today. After all, the same fraction of an hour can be time consuming for those who wait, but it flies for those who are thirsty to produce. Beto, in practice, freezes the passage of time in his creations, while drinking from the source of spirituality and existential reflections.
In 2021, he took his first steps in the digital world of crypt art, quickly consolidating himself among the main Brazilian artists making use of this new and revolutionary way of expressing art.
