Representing The Working Class - Art Piece
“Man, this guy must be crazy or something… How can he sell something like this, I mean, it’s just bubble wrap with some marker on it and a bit of graffiti on the inside.”
Well, you’re totally right if you said something like that when you saw this on the website. It’s bubble wrap, with tape, permanent marker and also, on the inside, a piece of plastic which we put graffiti on with the help of a handmade paper stencil of my face and our logo.
But, you can look at it as art.
This piece is a provocative commentary on class, representation, and modern consumer culture. Constructed on a base of industrial bubble wrap—a material symbolizing protection yet inherently disposable—it juxtaposes notions of fragility and permanence. The artwork is layered with a chaotic yet deliberate arrangement of black marker drawings and graffiti-like text, representing voices of dissent and individuality in a homogenized world.
The bold, overlapping signatures and motifs evoke themes of collective identity and anonymity, reflecting the struggles and resilience of the working class. Words such as “Represent” appear throughout the composition, calling attention to the tension between societal narratives and personal realities. The taped edges underscore the raw, industrial aesthetic, making the piece unapologetically unrefined yet strikingly bold.
This work invites viewers to question the boundaries between high art and mundane materials, as well as the socio-political structures that dictate value and worth in both art and life. It blurs the line between artistic commentary and activism, challenging traditional perceptions of art's role in society.
Besides, it goes really well in an industrial, modern, abstract type of home. You can even put it in your garage, it would look good.
Yeah, that’s all for this art piece.
