Shadow Self – Hand signed, a 40 × 40 cm giclée on canvas by the French artist Le Yack, limited edition of 20 numbered copies, signed by the artist in 2026, with certificate of authenticity and ready to frame.
Description from the seller
In this interior of devastating silence, a young woman sits on a chevron parquet, back against a door she will not open. Bathed in the cold morning light, her satin shirt gleams like a second skin while her cobalt stockings blaze on the hot wood. But it is the shadow that commands the composition — doubled, autonomous, almost theatrical — as if the wall itself stages the emotions she refuses to show.
Le Yack works in the tradition of Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, painting solitude not as an absence but as a presence. The figure does not seek the viewer’s gaze. She already knows what she thinks.
Le Yack, emerging French pop and street art artist. Alexandre Pelletier, known as Le Yack, was born in 1972 in Tours. During his studies, he joined the École Supérieure d’Art et de Design (ESAD) in Orléans. He is a creative director in publishing and web. Instagram @leyack45. He is exhibited in a network of around forty galleries in France, Germany, Belgium, United States.

Inspired by classical and modern painting, Le Yack brings a contemporary gaze to his creations by incorporating emblematic elements of pop and urban culture. His works are characterized by vivid colors, dynamic shapes, and expressive compositions.
The artist also explores different forms of artistic production. Some of his works are reproduced in series on canvas-mounted frames, creating limited editions accessible to a wider audience. Other works are created as unique paintings on canvas, adding an exclusive and authentic dimension to his collection.
Le Yack’s style reflects a fusion between traditional art and the infinite possibilities offered by digital technology. His innovative approach and deft use of digital resources allow him to create original works that captivate the eye and invite reflection.
