STOM500 - MANEKIKACHU
FINE ART PRINT · CP037 · 2023
STOM500, a self-taught artist from a village near Basel, Switzerland, now lives and works in Strasbourg, France. With a background in graphic design, he has become a prominent figure in the world of illustration and graffiti over the past years. Describing himself with humor as a "Swiss army knife," STOM500 skillfully navigates various mediums—from spray paint to acrylics—creating both large murals and canvases. His art often features animal themes, carrying subtle yet powerful humanistic and ecological messages, such as his swirling bees and imaginative bestiaries inspired by La Fontaine's fables.

In 2023, we released the "Manekikachu" print, a fine art piece based on an 80 x 80 cm painting. This artwork was transformed into a limited edition of 50 prints, plus 5 artist proofs (AP's). The edition includes 35 standard prints and 15 hand-embellished versions, each featuring a uniquely hand-painted bee.
This collaboration with STOM500 includes plans for a future book showcasing his work. The "Manekikachu" print is our first collaborative project in this, highlighting STOM500's unique style and ability to blend humor with meaningful messages in his art.
