About the Item

"Porsche Barrel (2019)" by Marc Boffin, bearing the distinction of being the 33rd within a limited edition of 100, stands as a captivating testament to the convergence of automotive luxury and artistic expression. This exceptional piece boldly showcases the iconic Porsche logo, meticulously hand-painted in shimmering silver strokes, epitomizing the artist's unwavering commitment to detail and contemporary aesthetics. Marc Boffin, born on October 17, 1987, embarked on a lifelong artistic journey ignited by an insatiable passion for drawing. His artistic prowess was evident early in life, with the budding artist enrolling in evening classes at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nancy at the tender age of 7. By the age of 12, he was immersed in extensive creative endeavors, diligently attending painting classes after school. While his formal education led him into the realms of architecture and design, his heart remained steadfastly devoted to the art world, particularly the realm of painting, which remained an enduring thread throughout his career. Boffin's artistic DNA bears the indelible imprint of pop art and street art, influences that reverberate throughout his diverse body of work, which defies conventional categorization. While his portfolio boasts expansive and commanding canvases, often rendered on traditional surfaces, his artistic spirit thrives on the unconventional. His creative genius embraces the unexpected, as exemplified by his imaginative transformation of oil barrels, potent symbols of global commerce, into captivating works of art emblazoned with logos of luxury brands. These creations are a testament to Boffin's unique ability to provoke thought and evoke desire, bridging the realms of aspiration and commerce. Boffin's artistic versatility extends to small-scale sculptures, such as his coveted "teddy" limited edition, a work that achieved rapid sellout within days of its launch. Light serves as a defining element in Boffin's artistry—a delicate interplay that caresses the contours of his subjects, whether human or inanimate, and bestows life upon their forms. The subtlety of his gradients, the intricacy of his details, and the formal purity of his compositions render his works harmonious and adaptable, seamlessly blending into a spectrum of interior aesthetics, from the opulent to the contemporary. Boffin's expertise as an interior designer adds an additional layer of enchantment to his creations, captivating the viewer's gaze through the fusion of artistic vision and spatial acumen. Notably listed in the prestigious Larousse dictionary, Boffin readily engages in bespoke commissions, spanning an array of subjects, from portraits to landscapes, still lifes, and vanities. His creative boundaries remain limitless, redefining the frontiers of artistic expression. "Porsche Barrel (2019)" and the entirety of Marc Boffin's oeuvre represent a captivating union of luxury and artistry, delighting audiences with their visual splendor and thought-provoking narratives.

Under Pressure 6 by Yuri van Poppel Dimensions: D 27 x H 55 cm One of a kind. Earthenware, layered ceramic glazes, various colours. Handmade and spray-painted by hand by SunkOne. Removable lid. Everlasting graffiti spray-painted with ceramic glaze. Under Pressure pays homage to the rich history and culture of graffiti writing, referencing both a writer’s tools and targets at the same time. From the cap of the first marker used to get up, to the fire extinguisher used for getting up higher. An echo of structures and machinery, industrial wastelands in the orange night light. Powerful memories and sensations poured into a robust ob- ject -and a refined work of art. A unique handmade earthenware object, spray-painted by hand in various layers of ceramic glaze. Glazed Graffiti explores the aesthetic value of vandalism. A post-graffiti project by SunkOne, aiming to eternize graffiti-writing by trespassing into a new artistic medium. Glazed Graffiti was born out of the desire to write graffiti that lasts forever. To make this shift from ephemeral to eternal, graffiti writer SunkOne had to cross the boundaries of traditional street graffiti. By changing the con- text of street tagging he wants to further explore the aesthetics of what is often labeled as vandalism. To him, the tactility, opacity and shine of ceramic glaze mirrored...
