Zevs 🇨🇵 Liquidated Trademarks • Logo Street Art

[arcam]

Is this a Giclee on canvas?

[Harveyn]

Arcam - Its printed on canvas and then the artist has hand painted several bits of the detail including the complete Graffiti artist figure and his spray cans.

The main features are hand painted and at £700 its not much more than his prints.

"In the aftermath of street artist Zevs' "liquidation" of Giorgio Armani's store in Central this week, the Frenchman has had to deal with his arrest and subsequent court case in which he pleaded guilty to one count of criminal damage.

Representatives of Giorgio Armani demanded nearly HK$6.7 million in damages. They say because they could not remove the paint from the store's facade because of its sandstone nature. Zevs said he deliberately used a water-based paint that ought to have been easily removable. But professional cleaners hired by Armani claim otherwise."

portraying a street artist would afford him plenty of oportunities to get his bits out in public so i wouldn't be suprised ;D

Thanks for the interview vid silks.
Particularly like his comments about the paradox of invisability caused by wearing high visability yellow.

Story of an artist being arested in HK and now facing mega fine. (via blog.theartcollectors.com/)

After being arrested and detained in Hong Kong last month for unlawfully applying one of his signature liquidated Chanel logos to the exterior of an Armani boutique,



French artist Zevz (that’s “Zeus”), whose real name is Christophe Shwarz, has been fined a punitive $870,000 US (HK$6,746,000). While authorities have been quite harsh in their judgement, the artist’s Liquidated Logos exhibit is still on view and runs till September 30 at Art Statements Gallery. If you were ever thinking of purchasing one of his works, now’s probably a good time to support.

its a lot of cash!!

seen this last week on the lazarides site.
but didnt say how much he was going to be fined.

[sakyamuni]

From what i know he is not sentenced yet, Armani asked for a compensation of 8.7 HK$, it is not sure yet if the judges will agree with this request.
What is sure is that he is at the moment unable to leave hong kong as the authorities took his passport until the trial, scheduled for this friday (august 14th).
He is really at risk to be sent to jail as hong kong authorities and judges are not known to be street-art friendly and he did plead guilty in july after receiving bad advises from a local lawyer.
Zevs is trying to remove the painting before the trial day to reduce the Armani request.

[snausages]

When you play with fire this is what happens...

If this was in the US he could just file for bankruptcy. Don't know about HK. But this should be a lesson to other numskulls who film themselves engaging in illegal activity.

[notworthit]

How much does his stuff go for? Can he afford it. or maybe Laz'll help him out

[erzengel]

Thats a lot of money. I don't understand why they judge him so hart ...
