AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
MonkeyBird: Foreword - 2016
Original screenprint of a 65 x 50 cm format.
Numbered HC ../25 and signed in pencil by the Artist.
Magnificent edition, featuring the use of gold metallic ink.
Artwork in good condition, never framed.
We ensure 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 associated street artists who express themselves with a single line. Monkeys, birds, landscapes, citadels and symbols are elevated by the black, white and gold lines drawn by the duo. A philosophical fable that speaks with poetry and sensitivity about humans and the world.
Stencil artists renowned for the precision of their line and the finesse of their cutting, entirely handmade, they specialize in representations of metaphysical architectures where the Bird ("Blow") and the Monkey ("Temor") coexist.
Inspiring themselves from geometry, mechanics, cosmology and astronomy treatises, they develop their work using all kinds of media and supports, also using illumination and calligraphy. Furthermore, they are obsessed with reintroducing animal presence on the walls of cities. These animals, not so different from those found in La Fontaine’s famous fables, mischievously remind us of our own human concerns, 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 take over the walls of cities (Paris where they live, Lille, Bordeaux but also Amsterdam, New Delhi and several Mexican cities), they also produce works on various reclaimed materials (wood, metal, glass) and on paper.
