Self-taught and formerly the creative director of his own Paris agency, he has spent the years since curating and exhibiting urban art across Paris, London, New York and Singapore, building a body of work that reads as pop art's wit filtered through a street artist's tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAscot Boy takes Thirsty Bstrd's signature monochrome stencil silhouette — here a child dressed in full morning suit and top hat — and surrounds him with the teal-sprayed iconography of wealth and occasion: a crown, a diamond, a fistful of pound signs, and, in his hand, an \"Ascot VIP Ticket.\" The effect is the artist's familiar trick in miniature, dressing a child in the trappings of adult status to needle at the absurdity of exclusivity and display — a subject with particular resonance for a gallery a few miles from the racecourse itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixed media stencil print\u003cbr\u003eFramed\u003cbr\u003eEdition size and dimensions to be confirmed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creedgallery.com\/collections\/thirsty-bstrd-artist-surrey-near-london?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=thir\u0026amp;_psid=e69676c2e\u0026amp;_ss=e\"\u003eClick here to view the whole collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thirsty Bstrd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56407243620692,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/0418\/6196\/files\/thirsty-bstrd-ascot-boy-top-hat.jpg?v=1783674785","url":"https:\/\/creedgallery.com\/products\/thirsty-bastard-ascot-boy","provider":"Creed Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
