SKE - Time of Legends

Characteristics - Title: Time of Legends - Artist: SKE - Type: Artistic wall clock - Diameter: 34 cm - Materials: metal and glass - Clock fully functional - Photoluminescent hour markers - Green luminescence in the dark - Limited edition to 30 pieces - Number 02/30 - Signed by the artist SKE When several legends of popular culture find themselves on the same dial, time ceases to be ordinary. With Time of Legends, SKE creates a true visual collision between icons that have fed several generations: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other graphic nods emerge in a dense composition where pop culture, street art and watchmaking codes intersect. The dial, inspired by the Rolex GMT universe, becomes a playground for expression where references pile up like a living wall, saturated with images, colors and collective memory. What makes this piece particularly striking is its ability to bring together worlds that, at first glance, were not meant to meet. Disney, comics, urban art and the collector’s imagination dialogue in a single object. SKE does not simply juxtapose cult figures: he distorts them, confronts them and inserts them into a dense, energetic visual language that is immediately recognizable. The two-tone bezel enhances the reading of the time, while the center of the dial becomes a pop mosaic where every detail invites a second look. Made of aluminum, Time of Legends is a functional wall clock with a diameter of 34 cm. This version is produced in a limited edition of 30 pieces. More than a object that tells the time, Time of Legends brings together heroes, memories and symbols in one room. A work designed for those who love collecting as much references as singular objects. - ARTIST BIO: SKE is a self-taught French artist with a versatile practice who grew up in the culture of the 80s/90s, inspiring a large share of his artistic work. He constantly explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stenciling, graffiti, urban installations and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with a double reading, blend the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art. After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s value has seen a notable rise. Winner of the first prize at the Urban Master contest (2023), then voted Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025). SKE was selected as "Artist of the Month" by the Opulence gallery in October, and also benefited from a feature in an American art magazine confirming his international recognition. His works have already been exhibited in major venues in Europe, the United States and Asia, consolidating his place on the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE has also established himself in the digital art market, a major trend of the last two years, enhancing the appeal of his creations to collectors. Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture play define a style that is now essential. SKE is without a doubt an artist to follow, to start or enrich a collection with rising value. Listed & Awarded Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE’s work fits into a prestigious lineage. His line reflects the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works create a bridge between eras: they revisit the classics, not hesitating to distort Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai’s The Great Wave, or Picasso’s deconstructed forms to confront them with a modern urban aesthetic akin to Mr Brainwash or Kaws. POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing from the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons from our childhood. He stages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and Scrooge McDuck’s symbolic greed. The influence of gaming, comics and graphic novels is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and the Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami. LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style sometimes reminiscent of Alec Monopoly, the artist plays with codes of success and materialism. The Dollar symbol sits beside logos of luxury and fashion giants. His works capture the “Hype” aesthetic: sneaker world (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and high fashion (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not to mention mass consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured finishes evoking the glossy surface of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski. This work is ideal for enriching a collection or adding a dynamic touch to your interior. Instagram artist SKE: ske_shakeyourart
