This artwork was created by Endless as a part of his 2017 exhibition – ‘The Royal Variety Adornments’, where the artist paid tribute to the royal family and commented on modern societies worship of celebrities, branding and luxury goods. In this piece, Endless has modernised a portrait of Queen Victoria with a tongue-in-cheek depiction of Victoria Beckham. She is adorned with a multitude of recognisable branding to add to the modern status of celebrity and how wealth is represented in society today. Endless created this piece using a combination of digital design, hand-cut stencils with spray paint, acrylic paint and other mixed media.

About Endless

Endless, an Artist we have loved and worked with since we first entered the Art market, is a London-based contemporary street artist, whose artworks tell a visual story and observation of the world he sees around him. Starting out using the walls of our nation’s capital as his canvas, a bold street-art aesthetic is still prevalent throughout his works – infused with a mix of contemporary techniques. His work often comments on society’s reaction to the media, the influence of the advertising industry and the shift in modern priorities from religious worship, to the ‘new era’ religion, where the shops are our chapels, the magazines our bibles and the fashion icons are our gods. His career exploded in 2016 when he was asked to work with the legendary Gilbert and George and was followed by historic collaborations with brands such as Karl Lagerfeld, Fiorucci (FI-O-RU-CHY) and Liberty London.

Endless’ legacy will always boast that he was the first street artist to have his work feature in the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery one of the many reasons why his work is collected by some of the most wealthy and famous individuals of our generation.
