Toy Soldier NAIVE (2022) Sculpture by Aspencrow

Aspencrow is a contemporary Lithuanian artist. Aspencrow, born in Lithuania in 1987, is an artist whose formative years unfolded against the backdrop of a tumultuous era. His childhood and adolescence were shaped by the infamous 1990s, and as he transitioned into adulthood, the global financial crisis cast its shadow, leaving a lasting impact on the artist's personality and worldview. This confluence of historical events gave rise to a profound internal conflict, as Western capitalist pop culture permeated the post-Soviet territories, challenging the assimilation of incoming information and the acceptance of stark realities. It was within this maelstrom of influences that Aspencrow's future creativity found its roots.

Aspencrow has become a well-recognized figure in the art world for his hyperrealistic and often controversial sculptures. His creations, including "Begging Queen," "ICON," "MILF," "Diamond Dog," and others, offer a unique reinterpretation of well-known public figures, often presented in unusual and sometimes shocking ways. His art pushes the boundaries of convention, inviting viewers to question and reflect upon the icons and figures that populate contemporary culture.

In 2013, Aspencrow received his Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from the Birmingham City University, School of Art in the United Kingdom. This marked a pivotal moment in both his personal and artistic evolution. It was in Birmingham that he discovered newfound "freedom in thinking and action as an artist." This transformative experience led him to adopt the pseudonym Aspencrow, signifying a significant shift in his artistic identity.

Throughout his career, Aspencrow has continued to create sculptures such as "US Candy," "Polar Kid," "Cheese," and many others. His artistic style is characterized by a commercial industrial pop aesthetic, often imbued with a signature touch of darkness and introspection. What sets ASPENCROW apart is his commitment to philanthropy. He utilizes his art to support charitable organizations, underscoring the social consciousness that accompanies his creative endeavors.
