ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This original artwork, Pac-man Plays with ©Versace #1 is one of the exclusive pieces created by artist Garotto for the Medusa Collection as a tribute to Pac-Man, a video game and universal icon of its genre. This video game was launched by Toru Iwatani in the 80’s with the intention to offer one that would appeal to women as well as men, because most that had existed until then were war or sport themed. From the series Pac-Man Vs. Medusa, this artwork represents a fusion between fashion brand ©Versace and the best-selling video game in history. With a handcrafted wooden base covered with original ©Versace Home materials, Garotto fashions a Pac-Man with the Medusa logo about to eat the ghosts of the mythical game. Through a long creative process, from the frame to the figures, all its wooden pieces have been meticulously designed, carved, and polished by the artist and then covered with a variety of textures and a range of fair colors, like white and gold in contrast with the dark blacks and grey. As a result, this artwork captures the message of gender equality in the world of video gaming, a plight Garotto is an advocate of. Its large proportions and final composition were conceived according to Garotto’s own vision. This work of art can be shipped worldwide from Garotto Art’s studio in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain. –
