Gregos (1972) - Sculpture plan de métro new-yorkais

The Paris gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents "I Came I Saw I Pasted", an original work by Gregos in 81 × 65 cm, for which the artist adheres his famous resin face onto a New York subway map mounted on canvas, on which he has painted with acrylic and spray paint. Known for his relief self-portraits pasted on walls around the world, Gregos here rekindles his early loves—graffiti, which he practiced in his youth. The title plays with Julius Caesar's famous Latin motto, "Veni, vidi, vici" ("I came, I saw, I conquered"), to celebrate the art of urban collage. With its New York subway map, an emblematic support of post-graffiti culture, this composition also pays homage to New York, the cradle of the movement. A work that brings together the different facets of Gregos's career and his references to the history of street art. · Original work titled, located, and signed on the back; · Comes with its certificate of authenticity; · Relief work; · Meticulously packaged; · Shipped with insurance and tracking; · If you live in the Paris region, you can pick up the work directly at our gallery located in the 11th arrondissement. About the artist: Gregos is a Paris-based artist renowned for his molded self-portraits, which he has developed for over fifteen years in public space. Pasted directly onto walls, these faces become urban interventions in their own right, playing with context and public reaction. His work, direct and accessible, is part of an approach where identity, the body and expression are at the heart of the discourse. Gregos sits within the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura. Texts and photos Copyright Galerie CHENUS LONGHI.
