Artwork location: Netherlands

The artwork by artist Raphael van der Haegen, measuring 132x122cm, is made on canvas using glitter and acrylic paint. The edition is limited to 25 pieces worldwide.

The piece portrays cartoon characters Lola and Bugs Bunny walking and holding luxury brand shopping bags, including Louis Vuitton and Rolex. They are dressed in luxurious clothing from the brands Gucci and Louis Vuitton. The composition is rich in details and colors, presenting vibrant patterns and textures that create a dynamic effect.

The artwork seems to be a critique of the culture of consumerism and excessive luxury, depicting iconic cartoon characters involved in a lifestyle that emphasizes the possession of branded material goods. The use of glitter adds a touch of glamour to the piece, while the choice of well-known characters from children’s media makes an allusion to the influence of media on the formation of values and behaviors.

Raphael van der Haegen

Netherlands  • 1991

The paintings of Raphaël van der Haegen are similar in style to popart, modern street art and graffiti. Similar in terms of working with primary and secondary colours, portraying popular figures (Bugs Bunny, Pop-Eye) and using text in paintings. As opposed to the usual suspects in regards to materials in graffiti art, Raphaël only uses a paint brush to create his paintings.

Rules don't apply to Raphaël's work. As an artist, he loves to push the limits and to incorporate his life motto in his work: don't grow up. Hence the portrayal of cartoon characters from his childhood. No lack of inspiration here, because while working on one painting, Raphaël already has his next painting all laid out in his mind. Next to paintings, Raphaël also creates custom painted jackets, murals, sneakers and other objects.

Raphaël has been a good drawer from the earliest age. Eventually, painting came on his path five years ago. He used the drawing skills that he acquired throughout his life as a basis for his artwork. Raphael is a self-taught painter, he never went to an art school or followed a course on techniques and art forms. What you see in his work is 100% Raphaël.

Raphaël drew inspiration from his past, which can be recognised in all of his artwork. Born on the 16th of August 1991, Raphael is the oldest child of the family. Throughout his life, he encountered negative influences, but found a way to leave that past behind by concentrating on his passion. With an all new mindset and focus on his work, Raphaël developed his art style and took inspiration from the adversities in his past.
