Mickey Mouse (Graffiti) Sculpture

Mickey Mouse & nbsp;(Graffiti) affords an unexpected and contemporary vision of one of the most significant characters in popular culture. Mickey Mouse, the world's most famous mouse, was the first and best known of the many creations in the Disney universe. Ever since, he has become a pop icon, one of the most recognizable and best-loved figures by the public. In this version, Mickey & nbsp;is faithfully depicted but with a bold aesthetic treatment inspired by urban art. It plays with the striking visual effect produced by the contrast between the white glazed porcelain and the intricate black hand-painted doodle pattern that covers his ears and body. The note of luxury comes in the silver luster finish applied to his nose and the iconic buttons of his trousers. This combination of street-style graphics with the refinement of fine porcelain makes Mickey & nbsp;a sophisticated piece of modern art. Mickey & nbsp;appeared for the first time in short animated cartoons that premiered in 1928. Walt Disney himself provided the voice of the little mouse, which quickly became incredibly popular. His adventures with his friends Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto were the foundation on which Disney built a vast media and entertainment empire. Since then, with his big round ears and infectious smile, Mickey Mouse has become one of the world's most instantly recognizable icons, reproduced millions upon millions of times.
