AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

MonkeyBird: Foreword - 2016

Original serigraphy measuring 65 x 50 cm.
Numbered HC /25 and signed in pencil by the Artist.

Magnificent edition, with the use of gold metallic ink.

Artwork in good condition, never been framed.

We provide meticulous packaging, international tracking, insurance, and express shipping for all our deliveries.

The numbering may differ from the photos.

--------------------

Created in 2012, the Monkey Bird Crew (MBC) collective is formed by two young artists from Bordeaux, Temor and Blow the Bird (or The Blow). Louis and Edouard, two friends and street artists working together, express themselves with a single stroke. Monkeys, birds, landscapes, citadels, and symbols are elevated by the black, white, and gold lines drawn by the duo. A philosophical fable that poetically and sensitively speaks about humans and the world.

Recognized stencil artists for the precision of their line work and the finesse of their cutting, all done by hand, they specialize in representations of metaphysical architectures where the Bird ('Blow') and the Monkey ('Temor') coexist.

Drawing inspiration from geometry, mechanics, cosmology, and astronomy treatises, they develop their work using all kinds of mediums and supports, also incorporating illumination and calligraphy. Furthermore, they are obsessed with reintroducing animal presence on city walls. These animals, not so different from those in La Fontaine's famous fables, mischievously remind us of our own human concerns, caught halfway between the desire for freedom and elevation (symbolized by the Bird) and the material and bodily obsessions from which man cannot free himself (the Monkey).

If they invest in the walls of cities (Paris where they live, Lille, Bordeaux, but also Amsterdam, New Delhi, and several cities in Mexico), they also produce works on various reclaimed materials (wood, metal, glass) and on paper.

Seller's Story

TO KNOW : A professional gallery for almost 20 years, we take particular care with the works which we ship quickly with suitable and secure packaging. Buyers agree to pay for their purchases within 3 days maximum. For any request to group lots, do so before payment, via Catawiki, or by email: info@artdif. Fr . We can generally group +/- 7 works per package from the same sale. Certain lots or works in particular formats require suitable shipping. We therefore group together where possible, but this is in no way an obligation, additional costs linked to customs declaration costs, insurance and adaptation of packaging may be requested. The number of packages needed and shipping costs depend on feasibility. We do not offer any additional services other than those provided in the description or by catawiki. For works in multiples (numbered), unless otherwise noted, the numbering may differ from that shown in the photos. When receiving your order, please check the packaging and the works in the presence of the carrier. In the event of a problem during transport, please report it to the carrier upon receipt and make the necessary reservations, otherwise no complaint will be accepted. A damaged package must be refused to claim compensation. Remember that Catawiki is and must remain a platform for exchange between passionate and educated collectors, so courtesy, respect and politeness must remain rule number 1. Also if you wish to contact us, we will answer you with pleasure, but please form sentences and use polite expressions, because a person is behind the keyboard, it is not yet a robot, and I hope that it will stay that way. Thank you and happy bidding!
