*SOLD*
Sometimes the best ideas arise from small mistakes.
Unlike all of Aj Roi's other works, this one was created by mistakenly hanging a "virgin" sign upside down.


The artist was hanging about ten new stop signs in his studio (which he would paint on in the weeks to come); but in doing so, he mistakenly tied the wire to the bottom of the sign.
Once it was hanging, he realized that it was upside down... but instead of taking immediate action to fix it, he left it there, hanging like that until the moment he decided to paint it.


Seeing it in that position (in which the "O" and the "S" still maintain their original shape) gave him a new idea: that of changing only the "P" and the "T" to obtain the writing "BOSS" ("BOSS" in English).


Aj, in order to create the new writing, therefore covered the red parts with a very light grey; and the white parts with a red similar to that of the background.
