In this explosive reworking of his now-iconic Crotch Grab motif, Endless dials up the defiance. Painted in acid green, the hyper-stylised male torso—originally drawn from Mark Wahlberg’s Calvin Klein ad—mutates into a radioactive symbol of masculine protest.
The colour scheme, with its electrified greens and blood reds, is a deliberate nod to Endless’ collaboration with Gilbert & George. Their Crusade series, seen here in reference imagery, famously juxtaposed sacred stained-glass aesthetics with profane pop culture iconography—an approach echoed in Endless’ own fusion of religious framing and street-level irreverence. The vivid palette channels their visual language: devotional yet disruptive.
The punk spirit runs deep. The figure’s cut-up jeans are smeared with spray paint and Union Jack patches—referencing the artist’s 2016 Liberty department store installation, where he was commissioned to mark the 40th anniversary of the Punk movement with a guerrilla-style window takeover. The military hat atop the figure riffs on media portrayals of 'the ultimate man', while the "Calvin Classics" waistband cheekily calls out counterfeit culture and the commodification of identity.
Layered over a graffiti scrawl of ENDLESS, the figure is elevated to magazine cover status—but this is no celebrity endorsement.
Crucially, the ornate gold frame isn’t just decorative—it’s part of the piece. Each edition is hand-finished by the artist, making every work unique. The frame serves as a subversive halo: fine art styling meets spray-can rebellion.
From street paste-up to gallery centrepiece.
