Zevs, 2013

Edition of 6, signed and dated by the artist.

A lenticular print of the Mona Lisa’s finger encased in a wooden box with acrylic face, measuring 15 x 10.5 x 3.5 cm, made especially for The Container. “Yubitsume” (指詰め), finger shortening, is a ritual performed as a way to punish or express an apology by the amputation of a finger, used most commonly by the Yakuza, and recalls of the artist’s elaborate intervention act Visual Kidnapping from 2002 and his on-going fascination with the Mona Lisa.

Zevs is an influential French street artist who pioneered the street art scene of Paris. He is well exhibited worldwide, including some shows in major museums. www.gzzglz.com
