Selfie (Artist Proof)

Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm signed 

Paper: 250 gsm / GF Smith Peregrina Majestic Real Silver

This 50 x 50 centimetre limited edition artwork by JBOY is a two-color hand-pulled screen print with just 30 artist proofs made. The artwork creates a powerful contrast between the idealism of childhood and the consumerism of today. The main character, a chic lady wearing a polka-dot dress, is holding a fan of cash and a selfie stick—symbols of modern consumerism and the quest for appearance. At her side, a child clothed in darker tones gazes up at her, creating a contrast that invokes issues of influence and the transfer of cultural ideals between generations. The little, bow-tie-wearing dog provides a playful touch, yet underlines the notion of fashion and attractiveness.

The piece's depth and visual impact are increased by the two-color screen printing process, which also makes the piece's striking contrast between bright and dark sections stand out. This piece, which is a signed limited edition of just 30, exemplifies JBOY's talent at using urban art to convey incisive social criticism. Each item in the series is slightly unique due to the hand-pulled screen printing technique, which adds a layer of artistry and demonstrates the artist's commitment to producing collectible, thought-provoking art.
