// Zevs’s LV - Axes is a provocative mixed-media artwork that merges luxury branding with tools of destruction. In this piece, the iconic Louis Vuitton LV monogram is reimagined using polished metal axes arranged in the familiar shape of the logo. The axes are mounted on a pegboard backdrop with a striking red glow surrounding each tool, creating an intense contrast that evokes both allure and aggression. By combining the symbols of high-end consumerism with rugged, utilitarian tools, Zevs critiques the power and influence of luxury brands, perhaps alluding to the idea of “destroying” or subverting their hold on culture. This bold artwork is emblematic of Zevs’s style, challenging viewers to reconsider the impact of branding on identity and society.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
