The men of CYRCLE. are back with another incredible piece, this time for the Killspencer pop-up in West Los Angeles, which is open until Dec. 23. If you're unfamiliar with the duo Rabī and Davey and their work, which is grounded in street art, peep our interview from Complex's Oct./Nov. 2014 issue and our Portfolio Review from earlier this year.
For their newest installation, CYRCLE. worked with Killspencer to create nine collaborative hand-painted, maple wood and gold mirrored, acrylic mini-basketball hoops. Eight of the rims are matte black, one is plated in 24k gold, and they all feature premium leather netting that contrasts nicely with the gold, black, and white boards. The piece, which is called ASCENSION!, is inspired by the unwavering fervor of sports fans and religious believers.
"Our concept is rooted in the passion and perseverance of athletes and the fans," writes CYRCLE., "who like religious disciples, cheer faithfully for the ASCENSION of their idols." Killspencer has mini indoor basketball kits for sale, but they don't feature the collective's artwork.
