About the Item

Resin Neon Orange Bear WhisBe 6" tall Ready for placement Limited edition Visit Oliver Cole Gallery website for more options. WhisBe Whisbe original vandal gummy resin bear in neon orange. Emerging New York City Street artist WhIsBe is noted for his whimsical iconography, juxtaposing innocuous and benign images within an edgier context. Mixed with self taught skills and an education from New York’s School of Visual Arts, the artist’s street work began to appear in 2011 across the US and Europe when his McDictator piece received world wide media attention. The artist was speaking out by depicting Ronald McDonald as a malevolent dictator, as The Huffington Post put it, “the McDonaldization of America.” The use of this figure to expound political opinion in this familiar street theme has become popular among many other artists such as Banksy, also using the jovial mascot as a foil for sociological commentary. Once on the scene, WhIsBe quickly rose from anonymity to acceptance within the international art community. A feature story on Art Net was soon followed by his art appearing on the cover of Wallpaper Magazine and a four page interview in Materialist Magazine. He was later asked to donate original pieces to the Art Works Charity Foundation, Charity Water and other charitable organizations. WhIsBe also regularly works with the Red Bull Company to assist in the creation of art-themed promotional events. In June of 2014 and 2015, he was invited to curate and produce the artwork presented at the Governors Ball music festival on Randall’s Island where he also debuted some of his latest works. He was named “1 of 7 NYC street artists to keep on your radar”. Most recently, the artist work was on view at Art Basel, Art Southampton and Art Wynwood with Oliver Cole Gallery and featured in HBOs BANKSY documentary “Better Out Than In”. Already being placed alongside numerous other successful artists such as Marco Glaviano, Russell Young and FAILE . As mentioned before, he is certainly one to keep on your radar with much more to come!
