About the Artist
Trevor Andrew, aka GucciGhost, is a multi-disciplinary Artist, based in Los Angeles, CA. Far from restricting himself to simple canvases, Andrew is known for making waves in various creative sectors including the Fashion, digital and Fine Art World. From tagging the streets of New York with the iconic Gucci logo, to obtaining a global collaboration with the high-end fashion house, Andrew has managed to incorporate a mélange of all these elements: context, medium, imagery; and their infiltration into the urban consciousnesses. Andrew is now renowned for his pure instinctive talent and quick-witted intellect that has facilitated his way into navigating tricky territories - starting from the streets of New York to Fine Art Museums, blue chip galleries, Nifty Gateway and Gucci’s runways. A collision of urban celebration and pop, his practice is characterized by satirical humor and powerful visual impact which utilizes familiar representations with unattainable symbols to investigate the relationship between luxury items and street lifestyle. Fusing opposing subjects with traditional art historical references and contemporary street culture, his works, as well as his alter ego, GucciGhost, has elevated street art to the realm of the fine art world and the global fashion industry.
About the Work
Banksy’s A Ghost is a signature GucciGhost piece by Trevor Andrew created specifically for Particle Collection in response to Banksy’s Love is in the Air as part of THE LIITA EFFECT exhibition at Praz Delavallade gallery, Los Angeles in June 2022. Andrew takes a whimsical and lighthearted take on Banksy’s iconic image - even the title points to a clever reference to Banksy’s anonymity. The artist's signature Casper-esque ghost, which he states as being “part of his DNA to tell stories”, reimagines a classic moment of the GucciGhost story, where the caricature is seen with a pan in his hand tossing up an egg, in a work entitled “ Life is Scary Sometimes.” Andrew revisits this moment by replacing the pan and egg with a stenciled rendition of LIITA’s bouquet, an instantly recognizable symbol of peace, beauty, and hope that Banksy used to disarm both his viewers and his figures' opponent. The whole piece is branded with Gucci insignia from a vintage found fabric, which Andrew felt was a “fun way for each holder to have a moment.”
