ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This artwork pits two icons who reshaped the history of contemporary art—Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat—not as myths frozen in time, but as living forces still shaping today’s visual culture.
Their gazes are direct, almost unsettling. Warhol embodies calculated distance, repetition, and cultural detachment. Basquiat radiates raw instinct, urgency, and rebellion. Between them, tension is not implied — it is visible, structural, unavoidable.
The explosive background contrasts with the controlled precision of the stencils, echoing the collision that defined their collaboration: commerce versus chaos, surface versus depth, pop imagery versus visceral expression. Paint splashes and textures act as a visual battlefield where two visions of art history collide and coexist.
This piece is not a tribute. It is a dialogue. A confrontation. A reminder that contemporary art was forged through friction, risk, and unapologetic individuality.
About the artist
I am a French stencil artist whose work explores contrast — between instinct and precision, chaos and control, heritage and contemporary expression. My practice combines spontaneous, textured backgrounds with meticulously hand-cut multi-layer stencils.
I have exhibited alongside major figures of the urban art scene such as L’Atlas, C215, Carole B, Wawapod, and Jo Di Bona at the SPERA ART FAIR.
My work has been collected throughout Europe, with more than 300 artworks sold internationally.
I also create live painting performances for major institutions and brands, including Disneyland Paris.
Each artwork is a unique original. While stencils may be reused, every background is created instinctively, ensuring that no two works are ever identical. My work focuses on iconic figures, powerful symbols, and contemporary myths, reinterpreted through tension, attitude, and emotional presence.
SHIPPING
The artwork will be carefully packed using professional, reinforced materials to ensure maximum protection during transport.

Seller's Story
French stencil artist, I offer here original works entirely handmade.
Each painting is created on canvas using stencils that I draw and cut out myself, then reinterpreted on unique and spontaneous backgrounds.
My work draws inspiration from pop culture, mythological figures, artistic icons, and contemporary characters, with an aesthetic blending street art and contemporary art.
All artworks for sale are unique pieces (no editions, no reproductions), signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
I ship each work with the utmost care, in a secure and tracked package, to France and internationally.
