Dolce Vita by Rob Rek - is an exquisite example of the photo realistic style with which the artist’s name has become synonymous.
This piece is set against a dramatically simplistic ultra white background focusing attention exclusively on the subject - An arrestingly lifelike pair of designer high-top sneakers by Dolce & Gabbana. The sneakers are arranged in an almost gravity defying composition - They are slightly worn and entangled by their own laces. The artist's attention to detail is meticulous resulting in a perfect reproduction of these classic kicks.
The artwork is a modern adaptation of the ancient Dutch Vanitas style, which invites the viewer to consider their mortality and questions the significance of placing value on worldly objects.
The artwork is framed in a matt black custom-made float frame.
