Jonathan Griffith in the resin sculpture "Mickey Gold On Skate", portrays the very popular protagonist of the comic created by Walt Disney on top of a black Chanel-branded skateboard, in one of his iconic positions. In this work, the Grosseto-born artist depicts Mickey Mouse using a gold tone and tattooing the symbol of the brand created by the famous designer Coco Chanel on both his ear and his belly. Mickey Mouse wears a black glove in his right hand. Additionally, both wrists wear a bracelet that appears to be made of diamonds. The cute little mouse becomes an object that could easily be inside a Luxury Store window: Mickey Mouse, protagonist of the imagination of world popular culture, is transformed, with an operation typical of Pop Art, into a work of art.
Jonathan Griffith
Jonathan Griffith was born in Grosseto on 26 October 1979. Son of Sergio, owner of one of the most important local body shops, he discovered his love for creativity and colors by working with his father. After his studies, he dedicated himself to the design of aerodynamic kits for cars and then, in 2008, became a nautical broker. The desire to celebrate the birthday of his best friend, Anna Maria, with a unique and personalized gift is the spark that launches him into the world of art. Recovered paints and composites, he created his first work, a brilliant and material painting called "Soccer". From there it never stops. Combining his passion for Pop Art with his skills, he gives life to fiberglass sculptures finished with paints and bodywork processes, thanks to which they take on that sparkling patina that drives the public crazy. Each piece is entirely handmade and unique: there will never be two completely identical pieces due to the life of the materials and the craftsmanship of the processes.
