Yuki Matsueda’s “Ace of Spades” exemplifies his celebrated approach to three-dimensional conceptual art. A commanding piece from his contemporary poker series, this sculpture features a classic Ace of Spades card bursting into three-dimensional space — literally extruding from the plane of its background. Using acrylic, resin, and high-gloss materials, Matsueda transforms a static symbol into a dynamic visual metaphor for luck, power, risk, and illusion.

The fluid motion of the spade’s central motif seems to break free from confinement, distorting the traditional boundaries of two-dimensional pop iconography. It captures a surreal instant, as if time had paused during a moment of escape.
