First displayed in 2012 on the streets of London, "Lizzy Vuitton" is undoubtedly the most popular piece of Endless artwork among collectors and fans and continues to be one of the artists’ most iconic works today. Much of Endless’ ideas are derived from social observations, with topics such as branding, advertising, wealth and religion featuring heavily throughout his work. Lizzy Vuitton was born from Endless’ desire to create an artwork which combines his admiration of Queen Elizabeth II with his "Brand Worship" mantra, referencing his observations within popular culture. Having regarded the Queen as “the ultimate fashion icon” and “a brand in her own right”, Endless created an artwork in celebration of her Majesty’s lengthy reign, with a nod to her much-loved royal styling. Endless has experimented with designs and styles, with his most popular iteration depicting the Queen making a humorous tongue-poke gesture. In contrast to the original regal portrait, this references the British punk movement, which Endless is also known for bringing to life across other artworks. Endless has added a bold ‘Palermo’ title at the top of the painting in the format of a magazine cover, connecting to another key topic that is referenced throughout the artists’ work. This Lizzy Vuitton painting has been created especially for Endless’ 2023 museum exhibition – ‘Endless Palermo’ at Cantieri Culturali Alla Zisa in Sicily.
Endless has created this piece using a combination of free hand painting with oil and acrylic paint, hand-cut stencils with spray paint, silver leaf and a varnish finish.
