I Want You When I'm Older - YNG ART Print

This item is a framed art print or mixed media artwork depicting two stylized childlike figures in front of a weathered urban building facade. The artwork is housed within a vibrant pink-red matting inside a darker, possibly black or dark brown, outer frame. The overall dimensions suggest a medium-sized piece of wall art. Key physical characteristics include the layered appearance, where the figures and foreground elements appear to have some dimensional quality, possibly achieved through relief, collage, or heavy impasto if it's an original, or a high-quality print mimicking these textures. The background shows a distressed brick wall texture above a darker, possibly concrete, lower wall, which features a dark wooden door with the number '64' above it. To the left of the door, red graffiti, styled to look like handwritten spray paint, reads 'I WANT <3 YOU WHEN I'M OLDER'. The two figures are central to the composition. The boy on the left has messy dark hair obscuring his face, a light blue and white argyle or diamond-patterned vest, brown pants, and is holding a bouquet of red flowers, possibly roses, in a somewhat awkward or shy manner. His feet are not clearly depicted, giving a floating impression. The girl on the right has long, flowing blonde or light brown hair that appears Windswept, a pink and white striped dress, and is holding what looks like a single red flower to her mouth. Her feet are also not distinctly visible, contributing to the ethereal quality of the figures. Both characters have simplified facial features that are mostly obscured by their hair or actions, creating a sense of innocence or anonymity. The ground plane features textured steps and a rough, dark surface. Notable features include the visible 'YNG ART' signature or mark in the lower right portion of the artwork, situated on the dark ground surface next to the girl's feet. The color palette is composed of muted grays, browns, and blacks for the background, providing a stark contrast to the vivid red of the graffiti and flowers, and the softer blues, pinks, and whites of the children's clothing. The framing appears in good condition, with the bold pink-red inner frame drawing attention to the artwork. No significant condition issues like tears, stains, or substantial damage are visible on the artwork itself from the provided image, though the nature of the textured background might naturally include variations and 'distressed' elements as part of its aesthetic. The style appears contemporary, possibly street art or urban art influenced, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The use of a dimensional effect and the narrative elements suggest a modern aesthetic often found in illustration or mixed media art. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear lines and intentional distressing in the background textures.
