KING OF THE STREETZ
“Once upon a time… I took over.”
Artist: Ancsa Weide
37×44.5″
Mixed Media on Canvas (Framed)
Description:
In this dystopian vision of what happens when a childhood hero grows up and buys into the system, the iconic mouse is no longer chasing dreams—he’s chasing status. In this darkly humorous piece of pop surrealism, the figure is draped in fur, flaunting gold chains, rhinestone shades, and gripping a a Faberge’ Egg. The red-star fur hat, golden accessories, and confident pose scream luxury pop art, but look closer—the glitter masks a deeper unease. He’s the face of a an outlandish capitalist nightmare.
The incorporation of Faberge’ Egg and toilet paper serve as twin emblems of wealth and need, luxury and poverty, fantasy and survival, tightly wrapped together. These symbols reflect a dangerous game—if you play the system well enough, you don’t just survive, you rewrite the rules. Magic is gone; the world is now a stage for flexing. just put in
Currently on view at our gallery in West Hollywood, this mixed media painting is a bold example of pop culture deconstruction—perfect for collectors of contemporary cartoon art, street-style painting, and edgy art that provokes and entertains.
