XTC Artist - Extincteur Champ Clicquot Black II

Champagne Fire Extinguisher Veuve Clicquot Black II by XTC. Commercially manufactured aluminum sculpture (fire extinguisher) customized, hand-finished by artist XTC using acrylic paints and varnishes. The edition number applies to the painted finish by the artist and not to the base object, the fire extinguisher. Painted only, no stickers for a uniform result and better durability. Numbered out of 30 and signed on the bottom, Certificate of Authenticity (COA) provided. (The piece sent is not necessarily the one in the photo.) Careful, tracked shipping. Born in 1978 in the heart of France, XTC has shaped his artistic universe through an interest in Design, Pop Art, and more recently Street Art. This visual exploration has become a passion that was to be realized. XTC defines himself as a self-taught visual artist, aligning with the Pop Art movement, through the subversion of contemporary consumer goods. His creativity expresses itself through bold staging of icons of popular consumption (such as McDonald’s, Malabar, Chupa), which he makes clash with the world of luxury (including Chanel, Hermès, Veuve Clicquot Champagne, and caviar) and Street Art, further blurring the already faint borders between these worlds. He expresses his art through sculpture, blending painting with all kinds of resins, plastics, and sometimes minerals. He draws inspiration, among others, from Banksy, Keith Haring, Orlinski, Andy Warhol, Obey, advertising, and addictions in general. All possible defects or imperfections are an integral part of the work: it is a salvaged empty (gas-free) fire extinguisher that may have surface flaws visible through the paint. (Obviously it is forbidden to sell a full extinguisher whose standard labels or pin are missing.) HAND-FINISHED « Sculpture made for commercial purposes, retouched by hand by the artist XTC using acrylic paints. »
