ArtKorero is proud to present British artist Debra Franses, also known as ArtBag. Having exhibited her work in cities around the world, the acclaimed creative brings her one-of-a-kind resin works, shaped like popular handbags, to Dubai for the first time. When confronted by an Artbag you are seeing a moment in time where seemingly random objects float motionless, encased in a transparent crystalline bag.
This piece features a taxidermy white canary in a ‘gilded cage’ Artbag, made of 22-carat gold plated barbed wire. It comes displayed in a perfect Perspex cube. The combination of the luxurious gold Artbag with the snow-white bird also makes this piece very appropriate for Christmas time. Alternatively, you might be interested in the piece ‘Bag of Thorns’, a Large 22-carat gold plated barbed wire Artbag that is empty with a slot for you to insert your own choice of items here.
