Hope

“Hope” by Dan Pearce and Maxim

This powerful sculpture, born from a collaboration between contemporary street artist Dan Pearce and The Prodigy’s Maxim, encapsulates the turbulent emotions of the pandemic era.

The piece depicts a young boy, based on Pearce’s son, wearing a gas mask and poised to pull the pin on a clear resin grenade. Inside the grenade, a heart floats – symbolizing the vaccine and hope guiding us through uncertain times.

Limited to an edition of 50, each sculpture contains an exclusive four-track EP by Maxim, making it a unique fusion of visual and audio art. This collaboration merges Pearce’s expertise in 3D modeling with Maxim’s signature use of grenade imagery and resin-suspended objects.

As part of the launch, a moving short film was produced, starring Pearce’s son and featuring a cameo by Maxim. The film explores the pandemic’s impact on mental health, homelessness, and community spirit, mirroring the themes of the sculpture.

“Hope” not only serves as a striking art piece but also as a statement on resilience and optimism in the face of global challenges. By acquiring this sculpture, you’re not just owning a piece of contemporary art history, but also supporting important causes, as the artists have donated pieces to various charities.
