Street artist Alec Monopoly takes his name from the transaction-based board game in which players buy and sell property, accumulate money, and try to make their opponents go broke. Alec Monopoly and his work have been covered by The Huffington Post, the Wooster Collective, Juxtapoz magazine, Complex magazine, The Dirt Floor and commissioned by Paramount Pictures and Kiehl’s to name a few. The artist primarily works with street art in the urban environments of New York, Los Angeles, and London using varied materials (including stencils, spray paint, epoxies, varnishes and newspapers) to subversively depict the mascot of the board game, Monopoly. “Alec Monopoly” is the alias of an unidentified graffiti artist, originally from New York City. Taking influence from Jeff Koons “Balloon Dog” series, Alec thought the shiny electroplated surface would be fitting for his signature icons The Monopoly Man, Richie Rich and Scrooge but wanted to take it a step further by spray painting each sculpture to signify his Street Art and Graffiti origins.Įach sculpture ranges from 4 to 5.5 feet tall and will come in editions of either 3 or 5. Alec’s first sculpture offerings feature electroplated casting compound hand finished by the artist with Acrylic paint.
