Coco de Paris - Why

Coco de Paris - Why

Sculpture "Why" PIECE UNIQUE by the artist Coco de Paris, hand-painted. Sculpture signed by hand 'Coco de Paris'. International contemporary artist, Coco de Paris was born in the Netherlands and trained in the prestigious art schools of Antwerp and Brussels. Based in France for over 30 years, he develops a distinctive body of work, immediately recognizable, at the crossroads of contemporary art, design and visual culture. International recognition Coco de Paris's work goes far beyond the traditional gallery frame: • Several of his works appear in the film Deep Water produced by 20th Century Fox, with Ben Affleck • He collaborated with Marc Jacobs for an exclusive collection • Gucci has acquired rights to exploit some of his works • Géraldine Chaplin counts his creations among her inspirations • Collaborations with international brands and institutions such as Joe Fresh, World Market, Cardinal Games, Nepia (Japan), FLOW Magazine or Lindner Hotels (Germany). • Collaboration with Tim Zagat (founder of the Zagat guide): creation of an illustrated alphabet of 26 animals and for 2026, release of two books: one book dedicated to the mythical Parisian palace Le Bristol Paris and an artistic work titled Silly Words. His work has been shown in numerous galleries and art fairs across Europe, such as Affordable Art Fairs in Brussels and Amsterdam, selected for the MAC Paris show, Art Metz, and the galleries Bernard Mourrier (Saint-Rémy de Provence), Carincotte (Marseille), Another Art (Belgium), Galerie Projection (Brussels), Galerie Radar (Bayeux), Galerie Cyane (Nancy), Galerie Marie Ricco (Calvi), Galerie Gour-beneforti (Bastia). His selection for the Chelsea International Art Competition in New York also confirms the international reach of his work. Currently, Coco de Paris's work is permanently represented in France by the gallery Art Sant Roch in Céret. His sculptures, made of resin, iron, wood, and ceramic-painted, are hand-painted and testify to a constant pursuit of innovation and material. Sculpture delivered with certificate of authenticity.
