Panda$ Bags - large

Con$umr Panda$ Bags  1 of 5 editon Hand-cut wood, acrylic paints, resin finish, resin on wood 36 x 30 inches  2024 About the Art: Originally, I thought I was re-working a Banksy piece to remove the guns and add an element that is less offensive to most, bags of money. The Panda is  clutching two oversized money bags, its fur patterned with stock listings - a nod to capitalism, consumerism, and the price tags we attach to everything. Also it’s just absurd to see a Panda holding money bags. The Panda is a good luck in certain cultures, so I’m pairing it with the symbols of the markets, wishing good luck to all who bring this piece into their life. About Con$umr: Con$umr is a self-taught artist from Brooklyn, New York.  He began making art in 2013.  With no formal training, he started by using image transfers as his primary method for making art.  Soon thereafter, he discovered the process of stencil making. In addition to mixed media, stencils are the primary means by which he executes his vision.  Inspired by pop art and street art, his signature piece, LoveSpray is a perfect blend between the two.  His work has been shown in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, California, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Greece and the U.K.  His collectors are from all over the world.
