Enigme09 (1979) - Opium

There is no more revolution, only products. Where the great political struggles failed to endure, the market has managed to impose itself as the only universal belief. Superb frame with photomontage by the artist Enigme09 in spray-on print (sold with its frame painted with spray paint) Title " Opium " Beautiful 33x24 cm ready-to-hang format Careful, clean, and quick shipping Magnificent work, unique approach, see photos Original digital artwork derived from photomontage and AI-assisted generation, printed on photographic paper (artist’s unique approach since 2009) and finished by a unique manual intervention with spray paint on the frame. Artwork delivered with its certificate of authenticity and the artist Enigme09’s appraisal/coting Artist biography: Former tagger in the 1990s, Enigme09 discovered photomontage in 2009. Painter Jacques Monory reinforced the path he chose by suggesting a poetic approach to his art. His compositions combine elements from the world of advertising or popular culture with others belonging to the corpus of Art History. Their mixture is sharp, explosive, surprising, disturbing, but also invites reflection on the status of images and on a possible hierarchy of values between them. The artist manages to give meaning to familiar signs, emptied of content due to their over-familiarity. But, of course, this meaning is most often far from their original signified. Enigme09 sums up his artistic creed in a succinct formula: “give a voice to images to open our eyes.” Louis Doucet (art critic, contemporary art collector, and promoter of young creators and artists of our time.)
