WOW this just might be the funniest thing 1xRUN has done ever. This past week Australian artist Scott Marsh made waves with his Kanye Loves Kanye mural in Sydney, Australia getting coverage on Reddit, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Huffpost, Vice, Buzzfeed and Perez Hilton just to name a few. Setting up alongside fellow Aussie vandal Lush, Marsh's massive interpretation of Kanye kissing Kanye comes in three limited editions available now. If you're offended (or you're Kanye) for only $100,000 the artist will buff the mural and buff a one-off limited edition oversized print.
"This mural is my painted interpretation of a meme of Kanye West kissing Kanye West, it's located in Chippendale in Sydney, Australia. Chippendale is Sydney’s creative precinct. I am currently in the process of painting a 1 off studio version of this piece on canvas which will be for sale in the near future.
This work has become a glowing example of the power of social media, the Internet and modern cult of celebrity. Images of this mural have gone globally viral, it received over 2 million hits on its Reddit post, has been featured by media outlets such as Elle, Cosmopolitan, Huffpost, Vice, Buzzfeed, Perez Hilton and E! News to name a few. I have been told it is the first viral meme based artwork in art and meme history, whatever that means haha..." - Scott Marsh
