We are so excited to share Friends With You’s FIRST new series of sculpted paintings called - “The Illumination” - making its debut in Paris as part of "Just Phriends", in which Pharrell has assembled an incredible group of his friends for an exhibition curated by Sarah Andelman on JOOPITER, Pharrell’s new auction platform.

For the past few years, Friends With You have been developing a neo-naturalist mythology they call OCEAN. This new mythology is a cultural engineering tool and artwork with the goal and purpose to unify the world under an ecology of respect and synergetic love for everything that is living and beyond. “The Illumination”, depicts a very important moment in the beginning of “The Great IP Wars”, a chapter in the book of OCEAN, that explores a dark time in the mythology.
