This dynamic artwork by Endless, created for his 2017 exhibition ‘The Royal Variety Adornments’, pays homage to the British royal family while offering a commentary on contemporary society’s obsession with celebrities, branding, and luxury goods. In this piece, Endless cleverly modernizes a portrait of Queen Victoria by reimagining her as Victoria Beckham, blending royal imagery with modern pop culture.
Adorned with an array of recognizable brand logos, the piece explores how wealth and status are portrayed in today’s celebrity-driven world. Endless utilizes a mix of digital design, hand-cut stencils, spray paint, acrylic paint, and other mixed media techniques to create a layered, thought-provoking artwork that fuses historical symbolism with modern-day references. This piece challenges the viewer to consider how branding and celebrity influence our perception of power, wealth, and identity in the 21st century.
