ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This original artwork, Mickey Wears ©Versace – Homage to Hirst, is a representation of the iconic Mickey Mouse conceived according to Garotto’s own vision. The famous character created by The Walt Disney Company in 1928, mascot of the company since then, that in the past has served as inspiration to some of the greatest artists like Damien Hirst, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol, as a symbol of universal language between people of different generations and places, is back again inspiring Garotto to create a new version with his unique style for the Medusa Collection. Ten years ago, Damien Hirst chose the lovely cartoon character as his inspiration to create an artwork, making his own version of the famous mouse as a symbol of the joy of being a child for a children’s charity. Now, Garotto, in turn inspired by Hirst, reinvents both Mickey Mouse and her girlfriend Minnie Mouse, recovering the essence of that message. In the series Mickey Meets Medusa, Garotto joins the ©Versace fashion brand and the artistic icon, Mickey Mouse, innovation, and tradition. From the handmade wooden base to the figure, the whole piece has been meticulously designed, carved, and polished, then covered with original ©Versace Home materials. Through a process of conceptualization, with key elements, using a wide variety of textures, techniques, fabrics, patterns, shapes, and a range of colors between black, gold, white and red, the artist has come up with this sensational three-dimensional work. This work of art can be shipped worldwide from Garotto Art’s studio in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain. –
