The Essentials
SOLD
Introducing 'The Essentials', an original sculpture by the innovative artist Debra Franses, encapsulated within a unique transparent tote bag design. This piece is exquisitely framed in a wooden black frame accentuated with gold, measuring 29 x 33 inches. It offers a refreshing glimpse into contemporary life’s intricacies through its compilation of everyday items and luxury goods.
Debra Franses artfully combines the worlds of fashion, branding, and personal identity in her sculptures. 'The Essentials' features an array of items that resonate with modern existence - from cosmetics like lipstick to assorted jewellery pieces shimmering with hints of copper and brass, alongside banknotes and coins. The transparent nature of this bag sculpture allows for an unobstructed view into a curated collection that mirrors our own lives.
The artwork's palette weaves together rich chocolate browns with warm caramel tones, interspersed with soft creams and vivid accents of coppery oranges; these colours contribute to creating a luxurious yet intimate scene within the confines of this handbag universe.
Having journeyed from politics to becoming a trilingual communicator living across Europe's fashion capitals before delving deep into the art world at Central Saint Martins in London, Debra brings to her work an unmatched depth influenced by her kaleidoscopic experiences. Her pieces are not just visually stunning; they also invite introspection about our relationship with material possessions and how they define us.
'The Essentials' is more than just a piece of art; it is Debra Franses's commentary on the blend between luxury and familiarity—where every item suspended in resin tells its own story about comfort, prestige, style, and perhaps most importantly—the anticipation forever paused at the moment before consumption. An engaging addition for any collector looking to bridge their collection between contemporary aesthetics and thought-provoking themes.
