About the artwork
This sculpture depicts two figures in what appears to be British police uniforms,engaged in a kiss. Their upper bodies,including their heads and torsos,are rendered in a metallic gold finish,contrasting with the matte black of their trousers,boots,and helmets. One figure holds a baton,also in gold,resting against their leg. The embrace suggests an intimate moment,presented within the formal attire of law enforcement. The uniforms include traditional British police helmets,adding a specific cultural context to the figures. The posture of the figures,with one's arm around the other's waist and the other's hand on the back of a head,conveys closeness.
Expert opinion
The artwork operates within the contemporary art market segment for multiples and collectibles,drawing directly from the iconography of a prominent street artist. Its market position is influenced by the enduring popularity of the original street art piece it references,which first appeared in Brighton. As a licensed reproduction,it appeals to collectors interested in accessible forms of urban art and design,rather than unique fine art pieces. The collaboration between Brandalised and Mighty Jaxx positions it within the designer toy and limited-edition sculpture market,where collectibility is often driven by brand recognition and edition scarcity.
