Made from a recycled metal barrel this sculpture, replicating an oversized crushed bottle of Chanel No.5 perfume, belongs to the series of works entitled High and mighty. These larger-than-life renderings, made from discarded paint pots and chemical containers, are clearly satirical. The use of waste items to recreate branded consumer products is a regular feature of Gekko’s work. However, on this occasion, the sheer size of the items conveys an element of ridiculousness. Coupled with the series title – an idiomatic expression that implies arrogance, self-importance and conceitedness – the artist is parodying our obsessive enslavement to whatever is deemed fashionable. In effect, these huge artworks are dwarfed only by the size of our egos. “Chanel No.5” is a statement artwork and a striking example of Norman Gekko’s artistic style. Here the artist’s playful humour and satirical world view is clearly on display. This should not detract however from the intrinsic technical challenges presented in this sculpture. With a few carefully arranged metal containers and a hand-painted logo Gekko succeeds in presenting a work of art which remains as elegant as the original object of inspiration.

France
Contemporary artist Norman Gekko delights in parodying the hypocrisy and excesses of western culture. Most often, Gekko produces multiple individual pieces of work as part of a series (inbred series, Beehives, Paper balls etc); willingly and enthusiastically generating new works with intensity, until exhausting both the subject and the artist.
