About the artwork

DO NOT CROSS,dated 2021,is documented as Three different techniques: the panel is a giclée print; the character and th and measures 65.0 × 65.0 cm. DO NOT CROSS is a square composition organized around a large circular red-and-white sign. A standing figure occupies the centre,while a yellow band carrying the repeated warning text crosses the image horizontally. The upper section contains multicoloured hand-worked areas in red,blue,green and white,visibly distinct from the flatter printed circle and warning stripe. The work is presented within a brown frame. According to the supplied technical note,the panel is giclée printed,the character and yellow stripe are produced through seven-colour hand screen printing,and the top section combines spray paint,acrylic,pencils and Posca markers. The edition and hand-finishing information is taken from the supplied documentation and should be read together with the physical examination of the work and its reverse. The catalogue description is based on the supplied main image and technical record. Details that would require direct examination,including the exact placement of a reverse signature,labels,inscriptions on the back or the full character of the paper surface,are not treated as independently confirmed unless specifically recorded in the documentation.

Expert opinion

From a cataloguing perspective,DO NOT CROSS occupies a hybrid position between limited-edition printmaking and unique mixed-media production. The underlying giclée and seven-colour screen-printed components provide the reproducible basis associated with an edition,while the spray paint,acrylic,pencil and Posca work in the upper section introduces direct hand-finishing. The supplied note describes this example as HC,hors commerce,H/F and 1/1,and states that it was produced in 2021 from the publisher’s archive,in distinction to the commercial edition of 100 released in 2019. These designations should be preserved exactly in any inventory or sale documentation. Its market positioning is therefore more specific than that of a standard numbered print: the work should be assessed as a hand-finished hors-commerce variant whose individuality depends on the documented manual intervention. The square 65 × 65 cm format,framed presentation and combination of warning-sign imagery with urban-art materials support its placement within contemporary print and street-art collecting. Any further judgment should remain conditional on examination of the signature,edition inscriptions,reverse,condition and supporting documentation.

About the artist

Born in Italy, Alessio-B is a stencil artist whose message-driven works offer the viewer peace and contemplation. Although drawing has always accompanied the artist since childhood, his artistic practice really began when, on a trip to Paris, he discovered the works of urban artists Blek Le Rat and Banksy. He began stenciling and using the walls of his home as his first field of experimentation. Influenced by Pop Art, rock music and the icons of his generation, he infuses his work with this contemporary culture. Alessio-B has collaborated and exhibited his work in numerous art galleries in Italy and Europe. In 2013, he took part in the Venice Biennale with the exhibition Back2Back.
