Rising to prominence in the 1990s, he became widely recognized for his animal vitrines, medicine-cabinet installations, and diamond-encrusted sculptures, which challenged traditional ideas of art and commercialism. His practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, and curation, making him one of the most influential — and debated — artists of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText by J.G.
