AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

On an old, patinated book page the parchment-colored surface, the text of the world’s most-read novel flows in two columns as it always has. And at the center of this page — emerging from the text as if it had always been there but had never been seen this way before — the Little Prince sits on his sheep. Golden crown, emerald green cape embroidered in gold, scarf that billows: he is there, in all the gravity of a child who knows things that grown-ups have forgotten.

Le Yack works here on a territory between etching and illustration, between homage and reinvention. The technique of an image embedded in the page creates a poetic mise en abyme: the character literally inhabits the words that tell his story. The aged parchment, the two columns of text, the page numbering — all contribute to giving this work the appearance of an ancient book discovered in a forgotten library, but whose illustrations have been redone by a contemporary artist in love with the text.

It is a work for those who read this book at age 8 and never truly closed it.

This work is a personal artistic reinterpretation inspired by the universe of The Little Prince. It is neither official nor affiliated with the Saint-Exupéry Succession.

Le Yack, a French rising pop and street art artist. Alexandre Pelletier, called Le Yack, was born in 1972 in Tours. During his studies, he joined the École Supérieure d’Art et de Design (ESAD) of Orléans. Former art director in publishing and web. Instagram @leyack45. He is exhibited in a network of around forty galleries in France, Germany, Belgium, United States.

Artwork features:
Signature: Hand-signed by the artist in front of and on the back of the work.
Technique: Giclée print mounted on a wooden frame.
Edition: Limited to 20 copies, individually numbered.
Dimensions: 60 x 40 cm.

Framing: Delivered ready to be framed, according to your preferences.
Authenticity: Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Shipping: Shipped from France, with secure packaging to ensure delivery in perfect condition.

Inspired by classical and modern painting, Le Yack brings a contemporary perspective to his creations by incorporating emblematic elements of pop culture and urban life. His works are characterized by vibrant 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-stretched supports, creating limited editions accessible to a wider audience. Other works are produced 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 endless possibilities offered by digital technology. His innovative approach and skillful use of digital resources allow him to create original works that captivate the eye and invite reflection.
