Talk about political and timely....Bob Conge of Plaseebo fame is dropping a new piece entitled "Bank of America (come suckle on the tit of credit)". According to Bob "this sculpt was started 6 months ago ( long before the BAIL OUT ) and was inspired by the blatant greed and unfair loan-shark type fees and interest rates charged by American banks. It is just short of theft! With this piece I want to express the true image of the bank beneath the placid mask of business as usual. The bank takes your money and then shits on your dreams ( the accessory is a green dump on a glass heart)."
Certainly not your usual piece of vinyl but in the same vein of Ron English's McSupersized - it's good to see artists tackling subjects with humour and originality. The piece itself is cast urethane from Bob's original sculpt. Measuring 12"(L) x 6" (H) x 4.5" (W) with removable mask, glass inset eyes, rubber baby bottle nipples and red glass hart with dump accessory. Scheduled to be available from the Plaseebo website today.
