Set of 6 Endless coupe soup plates
Pack of 6 Endless coupe soup plates, Geminiano Cozzi Venezia 1765
Description
First exhibited in 2012 on the streets of London, "Lizzy Vuitton" is undoubtedly Endless's most popular artwork among collectors and fans, and continues to be one of the artist's most iconic works. Many of Endless's ideas stem from social observation, with themes such as branding, advertising, wealth and religion recurring heavily in his works.
Lizzy Vuittonwas born of Endless's desire to create a work of art that combined his admiration for Queen Elizabeth II with the mantra "Brand Worship", referencing his observations on popular culture. Regarding the Queen as "the quintessential fashion icon" and "a brand in her own right", Endless created a work of art to celebrate Her Majesty's long reign, with a nod to her much-loved regal style. In keeping with his style, the artwork's aesthetic and key messages, Endless decorated the Queen's fur stole with his own version of a branded pattern, symbolising the epitome of luxury, with which "Lizzy Vuitton" was immortalised.
Endless has experimented with various designs and styles, the most popular version depicting the Queen making a humorous gesture with her tongue. In contrast to the original royal portrait, this references the British punk movement, which Endless is known for bringing to life in other artworks.
Lizzy Vuitton has travelled seamlessly from the streets to the canvas and can now be found on porcelain.
The Lizzy Vuitton collection has been complemented by 2 further decorations:
Endless logo: this design features the Endless logo as the central image, combined with the colours and shapes of the Union Jack, a nod to the artist's British origins. In the background behind the logo we glimpse the textures of a painted wall, bringing the aesthetic of the street into the design of the piece, in homage to Endless's roots in street art. The rim of the plate fuses the iconic brand with the artist's logo, referencing Endless's ideas about brand worship, advertising and consumerism in the modern world. The mug links stylistically to Endless's artistic media, with the logo wrapping around it as if it had been sprayed on with black spray paint and a stencil.
Chapel Blue:This design depicts Endless's iconic Chapel perfume bottle, inspired by Chanel's alluring No. 5 fragrance – a luxury item recognised worldwide. Endless's ethos of "brand worship" comments on how modern society is chained to the lure of luxury and designer goods and "idolises" these objects as if they were religious artefacts, hence the name "Chapel". On the bottle, Endless has placed traditional religious iconography, but with modern fashion icons – Karl Lagerfeld and Kate Moss – symbolising the change in worship today. The background represents the city streets in which Endless shows his work, and was created from a manipulated photo Endless took while walking around London.
