Crotch Grab Chapel Red - Endless

Crotch Grab Chapel Red

Acrylic, spray paint, hand-cut stencils on canvas

In Crotch Grab Chapel, Endless fuses two of his most recognisable motifs—Crotch Grab and Chapel—into a single, potent image. This is the first time these icons have been brought together in one composition, marking a pivotal moment in the artist’s ongoing exploration of modern-day iconography and brand worship.

The Chapel bottle, a recurring Endless motif, is a satirical rebranding of the ubiquitous Chanel No.5 perfume—arguably the most iconic scent in luxury fashion. By renaming it Chapel, Endless casts consumerism as a new global religion, where designer boutiques become sacred spaces, glossy magazines our scriptures, and celebrity culture our pantheon of gods. It is both a critique and a reflection of the seductive power of luxury branding in contemporary society.

Inside the bottle stands the artist’s infamous Crotch Grab figure, a bold reinterpretation of Mark Wahlberg’s provocative 1990s Calvin Klein campaign. First appearing as a paste-up on the streets of East London, the image challenges the voyeurism and sexual commodification that fuel the advertising industry. Its adoption by both a testicular cancer awareness campaign and legendary artists Gilbert & George speaks to its cultural resonance and subversive power. The pose is at once absurd and arresting—stripped of glamour, but rich in satire.

The artwork’s layered stencil work, vibrant spray paint interventions, and vivid palette signal Endless’ street-art roots while grounding the piece in fine art tradition. In the merging of Chapel and Crotch Grab, the artist crystallises his thesis: we no longer worship gods, we worship packaging.
