A gold bar with a bite taken out of it, unwrapped like a chocolate bar. Golden Bite turns the most precious material into something to be consumed: wealth presented as a snack, greed as appetite. The bar is half-covered by a wrapper in the form of a one-dollar bill, with a grinning yellow smiley face where the portrait would be, a pure-gold stamp and the chemical symbol AU. The crumpled aluminium foil peeling away from the bar completes the joke.<\/p>\n
The work is a pop art comment on consumerism, money and the way value is packaged and sold. The glittering gold surface and the reflective foil catch the light and change with the viewing angle, so the sculpture looks different at every hour of the day.<\/p>\n
Made of polystyrene and aluminium foil, it is light enough to be mounted directly on a wall, indoors or in a sheltered space.<\/p>\n
Materials: polystyrene (styrofoam), aluminium foil, oil paint
\nDimensions: 150cm \u00d7 60cm \u00d7 20 cm
\nYear: 2025
\nUnique piece, signed Stavros Georgiou
